HIGH SCHOOL: Two-time Female Athlete of the Year at French-American International High School in San Francisco.

PERSONAL: Parents are Mark and Easter Taylor. Sibling Dymond Letele. She chose UCSC for their brilliantly rigorous courses for the economics major, an amazing sports program, diverse college dorm ideologies, all while being on one of the most beautiful campuses in the US. Besides playing basketball and volleyball, she enjoys late night drives "where I can see the stars" and random Target/Jamba Juice runs followed by listening to really loud music, and subbed anime. Of course above all this, her favorite way to pass time is "with my family." Says the most influential people in her life "would be my little cousins because looking at them encourages me to pave a better way for the upcoming generations and reminds me of the humilities, obstacles and tears it's taken to get to this point. Their adolescence and admiration for me fuels my inspiration to forge onward."
