My name is Taylor Gepper and I am a Columbia, South Carolina native.  This is my 9th year as an educator with experience teaching kindergarten and 2nd grade.  I am excited to be a member of the River Springs Elementary family. I am a Columbia College Graduate and I have earned a Master's of Arts and Reading, as well as my Masters plus 30. I have been married for 25 years. We have a daughter, Madison (22), and a son, Davis, who is in 8th grade.

I absolutely love my career as an educator and I am always learning and growing. I love children, and I am thankful to spend each day learning and growing along with them. When I am not at school my favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. I love to watch Davis play baseball, and visit with Madison. I especially enjoy cuddling up with a good book and my cats and reading. I love reading and thrive to grow students' love for reading. 

I welcome any questions you may have. Family is a child's first teacher and I love working together as much as possible! We are all on the same team! I love children, I love teaching, and I love to learn!
