Taylor has played previously professionally in Cyprus (Apollon) and Spain (Gran Canaria).

She graduated from University of Texas at El Paso in 2017 and it will be her seventh season as a professional player.

Taylor could be described: Sparkle is a 178cm very good mid-range shooter, she creates for her teammate, plays hard on both ends, creates her own shot, attacks the basket strong, great help defender, shoot of the bounce, affective off picks and rolls and controls the tempo. She can score with multiple ways and is a great rebounder for her position. On her strong points her quickness is her main characteristic.
