Early life and education Taylor is a native of Mary's Hill, Tobago, where she attended St Michael’s Anglican Primary School and Scarborough Secondary School. She grew up in a single-parent household with three siblings and a cousin, where her mother "struggled to make ends meet."

She states in an interview that her priorities in this position will be "proper documentation and digitisation; facilitating better conservation and storage standards; ensuring greater access for schools, communities and the public; and forging stronger partnerships with cultural practitioners and researchers."

Personal life Taylor is a mother of three children. After giving birth to her youngest child, she suffered from postpartum depression.
