Taylor DiCicco is Ready to Serve

Much of Taylor's service work has been through Circle K International (CKI), a collegiate service organization in which she has held several offices. In conversation, she mentions volunteer positions in CKI and other charitable organizations not as if she is bragging, but as if they are afterthoughts, interesting tidbits that didn't quite make the headline: community service chair for Manderson MBA Association; volunteer coordinator for Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry; club president for CKI, district lieutenant governor for CKI; most recently international trustee for CKI. Clearly she is driven by service, but leadership positions seem to find her on the way.
