Taylor Nordgren

Taylor was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa, but he has lived in Duluth, Iowa City, Madagascar, France, and now Tucson. He graduated from the University of Iowa with a B.A. in English in 2015, served in the Peace Corps Madagascar TEFL program from 2017-19, and he is currently pursuing his masters in the Teach Arizona M.Ed. program. His experiences as a special education associate, wrestling coach, historical interpreter, substitute teacher, and TEFL educator have inspired him to commit to a career in education. Taylor cannot wait to learn more about the ethnobotany and agricultural history of Tucson and the Sonoran Desert, and with that knowledge, serve the community of Tucson through Mission Garden. He also works part-time at Silverbell Golf Course and is in desperate need of friends to golf with.
