Class of 2027
Hi everyone! My name is Taylor Cooper and I’m a sophomore dance and psychology major in the public health pathway, and I’m incredibly excited to be a part of this story. I am deeply interested in how perspective impacts interpretation of experiences. I’m looking forward to conveying multiple sides as we navigate one narrative. See you there!
