Before joining Harris Beach, Taylor worked as an associate at a firm in Massachusetts where she practiced domestic relations law and assisted with employment litigation cases.

While attending law school, Taylor served as a student attorney with the Cumberland Legal Aid Clinic in Portland, Maine, the York County District Attorney in Alfred, Maine and the Pine Tree Legal Assistance Family Law Department in Portland, Maine.
