Originally from Pittsburgh, it was Joy’s “Steel City” grind that guided Joy as she built her career. Working in both FM and AM radio, Joy started her career at Barry University in Miami Shores, interning and producing for a variety of Miami radio giants before landing a position as co-host of 104.3 FM/AM 790 The Ticket’s ‘Zaslow and Joy Show.’ She worked as the host of ‘Thursday Night Live’ and ‘Fantasy Football Today’ on CBSSports.com. After three years of entertaining listeners each weekday morning, Joy traded coasts and moved to Los Angeles to join FS1.

Most recently, Taylor established a scholarship for Barry University students pursuing a bachelor’s Communication disciplines in order to support the next generation of journalists and broadcasters. The Barry Alum received an Honorary Doctorate from the University and graced the stage to deliver the commencement speech for the Spring 2022 graduating class. She also proudly founded the Joy Taylor Foundation in 2021, a nonprofit that focuses on serving the homeless, supporting survivors of domestic violence, and promoting education and youth empowerment in the communities of Los Angeles, Miami, Pittsburgh and New York City.
