Hi there! I’m Taylor Puch, a dedicated advocate, researcher, and customer relations expert with a deep passion for the intersection of psychedelics, psychology, and advocacy. My academic journey culminated in a master’s degree in Research Psychology from Purdue University Global, where I graduated with a 4.0 GPA and published my thesis on the therapeutic potential of psilocybin in managing depression. This work not only fueled my interest in psychedelics but also shaped my commitment to advancing mental health treatment.

Currently, I serve as the Concierge Coordinator at Psychedelic Passage, where I connect individuals seeking psychedelic experiences with trusted facilitators, ensuring a compassionate and supportive process for those seeking therapeutic psychedelic experiences. My role allows me to leverage my expertise while fostering safe and transformative journeys for clients.

As an ambassador for the Students for Sensible Drug Policy, I advocate for harm reduction and drug policy reform at both the national and state levels. My involvement with the Policy Council Tactical Team has been particularly rewarding, where I’ve coordinated meetings with legislators and worked on critical initiatives to promote sensible drug policies.

Additionally, as a Youth Advisor for EntheoIL, I focus on increasing access to entheogens and supporting legislative efforts like the CURE Act. I’m passionate about creating a diverse and inclusive psychedelic ecosystem that prioritizes equity and community investment.

When I’m not immersed in research or advocacy, you might find me enjoying the outdoors or engaging with my local community. I’m excited about the future and look forward to contributing to the evolving landscape of psychedelic research and policy!

Let’s connect and explore how we can make a positive impact together!
