JACKSONVILLE – Episode 35 of Behind the Beak, the official podcast of Jacksonville State Athletics, is now available for streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and at JSUGamecockSports.com/podcasts.
Between regular season and tournament crowns, Taylor West contributed to six Ohio Valley Conference titles as a member of the JSU softball team. A nursing major while at Jax State, West was the recipient of the 2017 Eagle Owl Award for her performance on the field, in the classroom and in her community over her four-year career. Since graduating in 2018, Taylor has worked as a nurse in the Chattanooga area, but recently took an offer to move to New York and work with COVID-19 patients. Back in the Tennessee valley, West shares about her recent opportunity and the turn her profession has taken since March.
