Taylor also competed in the 2011 European Rowing Championships.[2] She was the spare for the British Women's Eight crew at the 2008 Summer Olympics[3] and would later criticise rowing coach Paul Thompson for creating a 'culture of fear' within the training squad.[3] The accusation prompted British Rowing to launch an internal review.[4]

Taylor learned to row at Durham University.[5][6]
