My name is Tayla Mahaffey. I am from the Panhandle of Oklahoma. I grew up playing sports and being very involved with my community. After graduating high schooI, I attended OU for a year and realized it wasn't the path I wanted to pursue. I love helping people any way I can. Being present in the moments of everyday is something I am very passionate about. I am very much a people person, a little shy at first but once you get to know me, you're going to wish we just met.







My whole life I grew up knowing that the reason I was put on this earth was to help people near and far. I grew up in a household where money was a problem. I never had the opportunity to buy things for people in need but what I could give them was my time. I wanted to be a dermatologist for the longest of time and my mission in mind was to help those of the less fortunate near and far. A smaller passion of mine was the beauty industry. It had always been a passion of mine I just didn't know the lengths of how I could help people. Going to the University of Oklahoma for a year and scoping out what my future as a dermatologist could look like, made me realize that the beauty industry was where my heart belonged. Many people told me that it is what I should do but I ultimately needed to figure that out for myself which brought me to the best decision of my life. That smaller passion turned into the biggest passion of my life, along with the opportunity to travel near and far to help everyone I can.
