Maren is the daughter of Tony and Pamela Taylor and has one brother, Reid. She started diving in 1996 and was also a gymnast until her sophomore year in high school. Her favorite dive is 405B. She was away from diving for nearly a year after dislocating her elbow at the 2011 NCAA Championships.

Maren would like to become an environmental lawyer. She began attending the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, a graduate program at the University of Texas, in the fall of 2015. She has also been accepted to the University of Colorado Law School and plans to defer enrollment until 2016 in order to continue training. 

When she is not on the springboards, Maren enjoys scuba diving and skiing.
