When Taya was a student at Lawndale High School, she knew she wanted to go to college. As a first-generation college student, she wasn’t always sure what that path would look like.
Through BBBSLA’s Women in Entertainment (WIE) program, Taya found a mentor and a community of support as she navigated the college process, explored her goals, and discovered new possibilities along the way.
Her journey eventually led her to El Segundo High School, where she graduated with a full-ride scholarship to Chapman University. 🎓
Today, Taya is putting her Communications degree to work while exploring her passions in sales, entertainment, events, and fashion. From modeling at New York Fashion Week to building her network in Los Angeles, she’s continuing to explore, grow, and create opportunities for herself.
We’re so proud to celebrate all that Taya is doing and can’t wait to see where her journey takes her next!
We always want to hear from our alumni and celebrate what they're doing. If you're interested in being highlighted in our "Alumni Moments" reach out to us at [email protected] to be featured.
