Taylor Brown is entering her third year at Gannon University for the 2025–26 athletic year, serving as the Associate Director for Sports Information & Media Relations and supporting all 22 varsity athletic programs. Since her promotion in December 2024, she has overseen in-game management, livestream operations, social media strategy, and the training and supervision of the department’s student staff.
In addition to her media responsibilities, Brown manages statistical reporting for every varsity sport at Gannon—ensuring accuracy and timely distribution to coaches, media outlets, and NCAA partners.
Prior to joining the Golden Knight Athletic Media Relations staff, Brown served as the Assistant Director of Athletics Communication at her alma mater, Muskingum University, in New Concord, Ohio, where she helped promote the Fighting Muskies 25 Athletic programs.
"We are excited to have Taylor joining our tremendous media relations team," noted Director of Athletics Lisa Goddard McGuirk said. "Her experience, creativity, and commitment to providing a positive student-athlete experience by highlighting their achievements was impressive. Taylor's talents will assist us in continuing to raise the standard of excellence."
"We are delighted that Taylor will be joining Gannon's Athletics Media Relations team," Kirik said. "Through her work at Muskingum, she developed a wide-ranging skillset that will allow her to be a key contributor to Gannon's athletic communications. We believe Taylor's creative abilities will help us reach new heights with our video and graphic creation, social media presence, and photographic quality while elevating the overall student-athlete experience. As the reigning two-time PSAC Dixon Trophy champion, Gannon Athletics has a great story to tell, and Taylor is the right person to help us tell that story."
In May 2021, Brown graduated Summa Cum Laude from Muskingum with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Athletics Communication and Sport Administration. She earned her Master's of Adult Education in the spring of 2023.
Throughout her academic career, Brown was employed with Muskingum's Athletics Communication Office, first as a student assistant and later as the Assistant Director of Athletics Communication. Her duties included directing game-day operations for 25 varsity sports, curating the fightingmuskies.com website, public-address announcing at home events, and the hiring, training, and supervising of 20 student workers.
"I am honored and blessed to accept the Assistant Director of Athletics Media Relations position at Gannon University. I want to thank Director of Athletics Lisa Goddard McGuirk, Associate Director of Athletics Dan Teliski, Assistant Director of Athletics for Media Relations Jeff Kirik, and the Gannon Athletic Department members who were a part of the hiring process. I'd also like to thank my friends, family, and mentors that got me to this point in my career as well. I can't be any more excited than to become a Golden Knight!"
