Meet Your Area Managers

Hello, my name is Sabrina Taylor. I have worked in the education field for 15+ years! My passion for children has led me on my journey to work as a childcare provider, site director, paraprofessional educator, and substitute teacher. I believe that all children should have the opportunity to grow, learn, and explore as much as possible. I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, and shopping. As an Area Manager for AlphaBEST, I look forward to nurturing a safe and inclusive environment for the families of Prince Georges County.
