Hello, I’m Taylor Scott Nelson, a green professional with a deep commitment to promoting conservation, local sustainability, and environmental education. I believe in the critical importance of protecting our environment, not only for ourselves but also for future generations. Through my work, I strive to share my knowledge and passion with others, helping them understand how essential the environment is in our daily lives.
My career journey has been diverse and enriching. I started by building a strong foundation in public relations within the automotive and technology fields, working for several mid-sized marketing agencies like TimePiece PR & Marketing, 70KFT, and HCK2 Partners. These roles gave me a well-rounded background and understanding of the various aspects of marketing, allowing me to develop skills that I would later apply to my discovered passions.
Seeking a change from agency life, I took a step back to explore what truly mattered to me. This led me to the Lost Valley Education Center and Ecovillage in Oregon, where I completed an immersive sustainability education program focused on ecovillages and permaculture. This experience was transformative, igniting my passion for sustainability, conservation, and environmentalism.
Upon returning to Texas, I joined the Texas Trees Foundation in Dallas, a nonprofit dedicated to urban forestry and tree planting. Here, I contributed to various projects aimed at improving the local environment and educating the community about the benefits of trees. My desire to have a broader impact led me to the Take Care of Texas program under the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality in Austin, TX. In this role, I worked to promote environmental stewardship across the state, engaging with Texans on the importance of taking care of our natural resources.
I then transitioned to a digital marketing role at Texas Disposal Systems, a waste resource management company serving Central Texas. This position allowed me to combine my marketing expertise with my passion for the environment, promoting sustainable waste management practices and conservation education initiatives.
In my most recent role as a Marketing Coordinator at Design Workshop, an international landscape architecture and design firm, I primarily support proposal management and business development efforts. This position allows me to leverage my management and content skills to win projects that enhance our local environment and community development.
Throughout my career, I have remained dedicated to green principles and environmental stewardship. I aim to inspire others to value and protect our natural world and resources through my work. Whether through conservation efforts, sustainability projects, or educational initiatives, I am committed to making a positive impact on our planet and encouraging others to join me in this vital mission.
