Taylor Gathings - Marketing & Outreach Specialist

Taylor Gathings is the Marketing & Outreach Specialist for Memphis School of Excellence, where she leads branding, communications, and community partnerships across the network’s campuses.

In her role, Taylor manages the school’s social media and digital presence, supports communications from school leadership, and represents MSE at community and networking events. She also leads marketing initiatives that strengthen the MSE brand and build lasting connections between the school, its families, and the greater Memphis community.

Taylor graduated from the University of Arkansas in 2024 with a degree in marketing and a minor in management. Before joining MSE in 2025, she built her experience through marketing roles in student leadership, internships, and full-time positions in retail marketing, where she learned how to tell a brand’s story and get it in front of the right audience. She has been helping MSE soar to excellence ever since.
