When it comes to early childhood education and consulting, Taquila is no stranger. Her greatest passion is being an advocate and voice for those that are less fortunate. She has dedicated her life to being of service to children and families. Her hope is that through education and dedication, we can start to change the narrative for “at-risk” families and promote self-sustainability.

Her journey began with a diverse and eclectic education. Her educational background includes a BA degree in Psychology/Biology. She has an MBA in Business Management/Health Care Management. She is currently pursuing an EdD in Educational Leadership/Organizational Psychology. She has also attained Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) from the University of South Florida in June 2021.

Professionally, Taquila has over 14 years within early childhood, eight of which have been in senior-level management and seven of which she monitored and reviewed programs for compliance and quality. She is competent in all the service delivery areas and systems, as an SME in Health, Disability, Nutrition, Program Design and Management, and Mental Health. Throughout her 11 years, she has participated, as both a facilitator and panel reviewer, in several grants reviewing opportunities. Her participation as a grant reviewer was with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMMS), Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), and the Office of Head Start (OHS). Taquila has written renewal grants and funding applications for countless organizations.
