Taylor Wiley
Summary
I transferred from CU Boulder to Baylor University Fall of 2018. I graduated Cum Laude at Baylor University December 2022 with a 3.76 GPA overall. I am extremely hard working and I complete every task to a high standard. My academics have always been a top priority for me. However, I am not just hardworking; I am extremely compassionate. I’ve dedicated many hours to helping the homeless and working with Alzheimer’s patients. I've also proved to be a reliable and helpful labmate at Baylor. I have spent hours helping classmates with their studies and dedicated hours to people in need.
