Taylor Davis

Bio:  I am from Diberville, MS and was able to attend the University of South Alabama through scholarships. My first major was Biology but I quickly changed to my true passions with Political Science & Philosophy. During my undergraduate experience I worked to found the Pre-Law Society, served in Student Government and worked with a faculty mentor on my original research. After graduating in 2018, I pursued a Master's Degree in Public Administration and served as the graduate assistant for the Student Center. In 2020, I started a position in first year advising and my passion for advocacy increased. Serving students reinvigorated my desire to attend law school. My goal is to work in the public sector, whether it be civil rights law, public defender or non-profit organizations.
