Meet Taylor Carlson

Hello Bobcat families! 🐾 

My name is Taylor Carlson, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to the 4th grade!

We are going to have a fantastic year and I am honored to work with your children as they grow academically, socially, and emotionally this school year. This is a very important year for independence, individuality, curiosity, and empathy, and I look forward to partnering with you all in developing, supporting, and strengthening these core skills inside and outside the classroom together. Teaching has always been my true passion, and I feel most at home when I’m helping kids grow and foster a lifelong love of learning! 🍎

Originally, I am from Orinda, California and I attribute my love for school and education to the amazing educators in my own public school upbringing there. I studied International Relations at the University of Southern California and NYU and received my Master's degree in Childhood Education while student teaching in the New York City public school system. Before transitioning into education, I worked as a management consultant helping organizations with their talent strategies.

Prior to Austin, my family and I called Brooklyn, New York home. When I'm not in the classroom, you'll find me spending quality time with my children, playing tennis and padel, paddleboarding, swimming, working out, illustrating, and crafting!
