"Hi everyone! My name is Taylor Tarbutton. I grew up in Goshen, Arkansas, and have been teaching science for the past 10 years. I recently earned my doctorate in Change Leadership from the University of Central Arkansas. My husband, Taylor, and I live in Fayetteville with our three dogs and one cat. We love live music, cooking, science, gaming, and we're currently in our health era, spending more time at the gym (still deciding if I love that part!). I'm excited to get to know all of you, learn alongside you this school year, and see what we accomplish together!"
