Hi, I’m Taylor.
I’m a marketing and project management professional who thrives at the intersection of creativity, organization, and execution. Over the past decade, I’ve worked across brand marketing, creative production, content development, land development, and cross-functional project management — helping teams turn complex ideas into clear plans and polished deliverables.
My experience spans both in-house and freelance environments, from managing global creative initiatives for Hydro Flask to coordinating complex, multidisciplinary projects at Pahlisch Homes and developing content, websites, presentations, and marketing materials for clients across a wide range of industries.
I’m most energized by work that requires both sides of my brain: understanding the big picture while keeping track of the details, people, deadlines, and decisions required to bring it to life. Whether I’m managing a project from concept through completion, translating technical information into compelling content, or helping a team create a clearer process, my goal is always the same — make complex work feel more organized, thoughtful, and achievable.
Career Highlights.
My career has been shaped by roles that require creative thinking, strong communication, and a deep appreciation for organized execution.
Pahlisch Homes | Community Lifecycle Project Manager
Today, I manage schedules, dependencies, and stakeholder coordination across more than 20 active community development projects. I work across executive leadership, finance, operations, land development, and construction teams to improve visibility, manage priorities and risk, and keep complex initiatives moving forward. I also develop reporting systems, workflows, and executive-level materials that help teams make clearer, more informed decisions.
Freelance | Marketing, Content & Creative Support
Since 2021, I’ve partnered with organizations across consumer goods, real estate, automotive, nonprofit, and other industries on content strategy, copywriting, websites, brand development, presentations, campaign concepts, and marketing production. Much of my work involves taking complicated or highly technical information and transforming it into communication that is clear, approachable, and visually polished.
Hydro Flask | Marketing Project Specialist
At Hydro Flask, I spent four years on the creative marketing team coordinating hundreds of assets each year across eCommerce, retail, PR, field marketing, and global product launches. I managed project intake, timelines, agencies, creative reviews, and cross-functional stakeholders while partnering closely with Product Marketing and Brand Design on product positioning, naming, seasonal campaigns, and more than ten annual publications.
Collectively, these experiences have made me something of a hybrid: part project manager, part marketer, part creative problem-solver. I’m equally comfortable building the plan behind the scenes and rolling up my sleeves to help create the work itself.
Rooted In Bend.
After graduating high school, I packed up my car and made a solo move to Bend, Oregon in 2008, drawn by the mountains and the seemingly endless access to the outdoors. I later earned my degree in Tourism and Outdoor Leadership from Oregon State University–Cascades, with an emphasis in Business and Entrepreneurship.
Nearly two decades later, Bend is still home. The outdoors continue to shape how I spend my time away from work — whether volunteering with Search & Rescue or Ski Patrol, snowboarding, mountain biking, walking along the Deschutes River with Tango, or settling in for an après PNW pinot noir.
See you out there, Taylor & Tango
Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue
Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue is one of Oregon’s largest and most active volunteer search and rescue units. Operating under the direction of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, the unit is made up of approximately 120 volunteers who respond to emergencies involving lost, injured, or stranded individuals throughout Central Oregon’s diverse and often challenging terrain.
Search and rescue requires a significant commitment to training, teamwork, and operational readiness. Members develop specialized skills across disciplines including mountain rescue, swiftwater rescue, backcountry skiing, snowmobile and ATV operations, tracking, K9 search, air operations, and wilderness medicine.
Since joining the unit in 2020, I have contributed more than 2,000 volunteer hours and responded to 120+ missions. I currently serve on the Ground, Medical, Snowmobile, and Backcountry Ski Teams, while also supporting the organization through several leadership roles, including Training Team Coordinator, 2026 Academy Coordinator, and Recruitment Coordinator.
In the field, I regularly serve in leadership capacities, including as a Field Team Leader, where I am responsible for guiding assigned search teams, maintaining communication with mission leadership, evaluating conditions and risk, and making real-time decisions in dynamic environments.
SAR has become one of the most meaningful parts of my life. It has strengthened my ability to remain calm under pressure, communicate clearly, lead diverse teams, adapt quickly, and make thoughtful decisions when the stakes are high — skills that carry directly into my professional work as well.
Community Involvement.
Mt. Bachelor National Ski Patrol
National Ski Patrol is a nationwide nonprofit organization focused on outdoor safety, emergency care, and education, with more than 31,000 members serving at patrols across the country.
At Mt. Bachelor, volunteer patrollers are trained to provide emergency medical care, assist injured or ill guests, and support safe transport from the mountain in challenging winter conditions.
I joined Mt. Bachelor National Ski Patrol during the 2023–2024 season, completing an extensive onboarding and training program that included Outdoor Emergency Care (OEC) certification and mountain operations training. Beginning with the 2024–2025 season, I transitioned into an active patrol role, responding to guest incidents and supporting emergency care and transport operations on the mountain.
The experience has strengthened my ability to assess situations quickly, communicate clearly, work effectively as part of a team, and remain calm in fast-moving environments — all while serving a mountain community that has been an important part of my life in Central Oregon.
