Taylor Scarpello

Hello, my name is Taylor and I am a born and raised Jersey Girl.

My top 5 Strength Quest strengths are competition, learner, responsibility, empathy, and achiever. Over the semester, my top five strengths have changed a little but my number one strength, competition, has remained the same throughout the semester. I have always had a competitive edge about me, whether it may be on the ice, in the weight room, or even a small family competition. I always strive to my best and will always put 110% of myself into what I am doing.

One of the biggest lessons I learned this semester was that the Exercise Science program is not for me. I have always loved fitness, but fashion is my true passion. From the moment I could walk and talk, I had always been interested in fashion, what others were wearing, and how others looked. I remember telling my grandma that she must wearing matching clothes to bed because you never know what can happen and you should always look your best. This does not mean my love for fitness has diminished because I have a goal to become personal trainer certified this summer.

Another interest of mine is makeup. I love makeup, doing mine own makeup, and doing another person's makeup. Something I am also passionate about is helping others feel good about themselves. I feel that everyone is beautiful and sometimes they just need a little enhancement.

My dream job is to incorporate both fashion and fitness into a business. I want to become a fashion stylist and go out into the world helping others improve their appearance and the way they think about themselves.
