Nichole Barney Taylor (’08, English), is working her dream job as the
Social Media Specialist for Red Cliffs Lodge in Moab, Utah.
“As a work-at-home mother of three little girls under the age of
three, I’m doing exactly what I’ve always wanted to do,” says Taylor.
“My family is my most demanding and rewarding job.”
Taylor is an active member of the Utah Cattlewomen’s Association and
has served on the board in the capacities of Public Relations,
Web/Graphic Design, Historian and Membership Chair. Additionally, she
runs her own art business and does book keeping for her family’s cattle
ranch.
“The two SUU professors who impacted me most were Dr. Kay Cook and
her husband Dr. Douglas Burger. Kay helped me find myself more than
anyone else outside of my family,” said Taylor. “They both encouraged
me, challenged me and taught me what I could do, which helped me become
the self-confident individual I am today.”
A favorite memory of hers is walking across campus in the crisp cool
air surrounded by the beautiful fall colors of autumn. No matter where
she, autumn time always takes her back to fond memories of her time
spent at SUU.
“Dr. Larry Ping made history come to life. I minored in history, and
sitting in his class was like going to the movies, only the plot lines
and narratives were better,” said Taylor. “I wish I could have taken
every class he taught.”
Taylor enjoys writing, drawing, painting and taking pictures. She and
her husband Ryan, a seventh generation cattle rancher, live on a cattle
ranch in Moab, Utah, with their three daughters, Ashley (3) and twins
Becca & Jessica, who will turn one this summer.
