Aspiring psychiatrist Taylor Johnson is a first year psychology major, Advocates for Communities and Education scholar, and diversity chair for student organization Mindversity. She is currently working as a psychology intern for a local psychologist. Taylor is also a speaker for EYEJ (Empowering Youth Exploring Justice). In high school she was also on the leadership board for challenge day which is an organization that aims to create a school community that is supportive, safe and empathetic to others’ life experiences including but not limited to bullying, violence, emotional trauma, and alienation. In this position, she facilitated small group activities to help students feel comfortable opening up and sharing their stories. She also has experience working with others in committees because in high school she was a part of her school’s superintendent advisory board. During her time on this committee, she discussed with fellow board mates the student’s view of Westerville City Schools to make important decisions regarding student wellbeing, improve our school’s sense of community, and improve educational resources. She was also a research intern in Nationwide Children’s Center for Microbial Pathogenesis, and has published research on PubMed and other online biomedical databases. Taylor is extremely passionate about equal access to mental health care, especially among marginalized people. As a psychiatrist, she hopes that she can aid in ending the stigma associated with mental health and foster a world where mental health matters just as much as physical health.
