My name is Maria Taylor, I am the Drama Teacher, and I am new to BHS this year! I hail from Maryland and Florida, but have lived in NYC since 2005 when I attended NYU Tisch School of the Arts to study Musical Theatre. I got my Masters in Educational Theatre at City College in 2014.

I used to work in Brooklyn at a school where we made a theatre program from scratch and ended up producing shows like IN THE HEIGHTS, MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM, and LEGALLY BLONDE. I hope to bring my joy of acting, singing, and dancing to the wonderful students at Bronx Health Sciences so that they may experience creative ways to express themselves and bond with peers.

Fun fact, I am also the singer in a band in New Jersey called ALL iN (follow us @allinbandnj). I live upstate and enjoy my cat, reading novels, seeing shows, being a foodie and being in nature. Email me at mtaylor11@schools.nyc.gov or come see me in our new Collider Room!
