JENNIFER
TAYLOR
Freelance and Independent Journalist
My central Florida East Coast and Midwest backgrounds help me tell compelling stories about women, human nature, the environment, agriculture and wellness in a thoughtful and enlightening way.
About Me
I am a freelance and independent journalist with expertise spanning conservation, agriculture, wellness, education, college admissions, business, politics, and general news. My work has appeared in CBSNews.com, Earth Island Journal, Modern Farmer, Treatment Magazine, the Chicago Tribune and The Kansas City Star among others.
​
Strong news judgment, reliable, ethical, compelling and clean writing are the mainstays of a more than 20-year writing career that helps publications convey thought-provoking, informative stories to a variety of audiences.
​
Living on the Space Coast, I'm mesmerized by a steady stream of rocket launches. When I'm not gazing at the sky, I enjoy long walks and time with my husband and two children.
