Taylah Peters was born in Darwin to parents from country Queensland and Victoria, respectively. In a typical Territory story, both her parents came to Darwin separately for ‘a visit’ and stayed.
After finishing high school, Taylah, moved to Brisbane and completed a degree in Human Services and Criminal Justice before becoming a social worker and then counsellor.
The pandemic changed the course of Taylah's life and following lockdowns she decided that she would move back to Darwin to be close to family. She took up a role with Relationships Australia and hasn't looked back.
Taylah is also heavily involved with Amber NT (formerly SIDS and Kids). When she was 12, her family lost her youngest brother who was born prematurely. This event has had a lasting impact on her life and out of her grief she founded the annual event, 'A Walk to Remember'.
This is Taylah's Territory Story.
