Taylor Cobb is an Investigator at TNG with a wide range of experience in Title IX and civil rights investigations for both higher education and K-12 institutions.
At TNG, she leads external investigations, specializing in cases of sexual misconduct, discrimination, and power-based violence. For her, attending law school served one specific goal: to become a Title IX Coordinator and understand ADA, Title VI, and Title VII. Committed to neutrality and consciousness of bias, her investigations are respected for capturing the full context of each situation. Skilled at navigating difficult conversations with stakeholders, she gathers critical information to support well-informed decisions, maintaining a steady and thoughtful presence.
Before joining TNG, Cobb served as Assistant Director of Title IX and Equal Opportunity and Deputy Title IX Coordinator at Christopher Newport University. There, she conducted investigations into alleged discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct involving both students and employees. She led Title IX compliance, including policy development, mandatory training for students and staff, and prevention education.
Prior to that role, she practiced under attorneys supporting the North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence. In those positions, she developed and trained on Title IX compliance and policy, co-drafted an amicus brief to the North Carolina Supreme Court, and created one-sheet resources for clients, law enforcement, and local domestic violence service providers on state and federal law changes. Cobb also worked with the Coalition’s Campus Consortium to update North Carolina campuses on Title IX rulemaking and other state laws. During law school, Cobb served as a Guardian Ad Litem in North Carolina, representing the best interests of children in cases of abuse and neglect.
Cobb’s approach is shaped by her belief in equitable processes and accessible communication. She brings empathy, legal training, and practitioner experience to her role as an investigator.
She holds a J.D. from Elon University School of Law, a B.A. in English with a focus on Professional Writing, and a B.F.A. in Studio Art, with concentrations in Ceramics and Printmaking, from Appalachian State University. She is admitted to practice law in North Carolina.
Cobb lives in Newport News, Virginia, with her partner and their four cats, three of whom “adopted her” by appearing at her door during the pandemic. In her free time, she draws on her arts degree as an accomplished ceramicist.
