Mikelah Taylor, FNP-BC![]()
Mikelah hails from historic Yorktown, Virginia. She left the York River in favor of the Blue Ridge Mountains to attend the University of Virginia to obtain her undergraduate degree in nursing. She fell in love with Charlottesville and decided to stick around post-grad, spending several years working at UVA hospital in adult acute care before embarking on a travel nursing stint. Her experience seeing patients in the hospital convinced her that wellness begins at home, and her passion for holistic health care led her to pursue her degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner from UVA’s graduate nursing program.
Outside of work, Mikelah can be found reading a good book, playing and coaching volleyball (she met her husband Nick through pick-up volleyball!), making lattes and friends over at her part-time gig at Kindness Cafe, and spending as much time as she can outside- be it hiking, camping, or floating along the Rivanna.
