Tayla has grown up in Bass Coast, having lived a lot of her life on a dairy farm in Glen Alvie.

She has familiarised herself with Inverloch and surrounds very well over the years, going to school in Wonthaggi, playing netball for the Inverloch-Kongwak Football Netball Club and now sending her children to the local kinder.

Professionally, Tayla began working at the Great Southern Star newspaper in 2013, covering local news and events, and specialising in sport. She began working with the South Gippsland Sentinel Times in 2023 but continued her studies to obtain her Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice and Certificate in Business Bookkeeping.

Tayla is looking forward to expanding her skills and takes pride in her attention to detail and reliability.
