In this episode of Path Found, “Wolves, Wild Paths, and Finding Purpose — Taylor’s Journey to Yellowstone,” Taylor shares her remarkable path from uncertain beginnings in small-town Ohio to becoming a biological science technician with the Yellowstone Wolf Project. Her story is one of courage, self-discovery, and persistence — from walking away from a toxic job to volunteering her way into one of the most sought-after conservation roles in the country.

At 17, Taylor Rabe thought she wanted to be a nurse. By 29, she was tracking wolves across Yellowstone National Park.

Listen as Taylor opens up about overcoming doubt, finding mentors who took a chance on her, and redefining what success looks like in a field where passion often pays less than persistence. Her advice for young people dreaming of working with wildlife? Keep an open mind, say yes to opportunity, and remember — experience matters as much as education.
