Life experience

Hey, I'm Taylor Ferderer, born in Winter Park, Florida. I grew up with an awesome older brother who set the bar high—smart, strong, and good-looking. My childhood? Packed with playing in the neighborhood and getting into the arts at Hillcrest Elementary, where I tried my hand at viola, singing, and ballet (until bullying put a stop to that). Learned Spanish early on, and I’ve always had a thing for different cultures. As a teen, I was all over the place—wrestling, soccer, martial arts, and plenty of fishing and camping, with great mentors like Micheal Murray showing me how to keep my emotions in check and what value in life means to me.

Fast forward, I found myself working with kids on the autism spectrum, first at a summer camp, then as a speech therapy assistant after studying Communication Sciences and Disorders at UCF. Along the way, I picked up coding, helping out small businesses and nonprofits with websites to support myself. Now I’m in Orlando, still chasing passions—whether it's helping people, kiteboarding, fishing, or diving into a Dungeons & Dragons session when I can.
