Taylor Bio:

Taylor Davis is a self-proclaimed "data analyst by day, pageant queen by night" from Allen, TX. The ultimate football fan, Taylor currently works for the National Football League (NFL) as a Social Media Analyst where she tracks and analyzes data across various platforms to discover key learnings and changes in user behavior. She also leads reporting for influencer & creator content. Taylor is extremely passionate about mentoring young girls and encouraging them to be confident, ambitious, and courageous.

As Miss Dallas USA she created a program called the "Hail Mary" workshop, which is a team-bonding workshop that targets girls sports teams and teaches them about the S.M.A.R.T. goal method while cultivating confidence and a positive self-image. As Miss Texas USA, her plan is to elevate this program to a larger scale and inspire young girls across the state to be courageous and relentless in the pursuit of their dreams.
