While studying Film & French at Penn State, Taddy joined the world-renowned Penn State Paranormal Research Society (PRS). She began training as a Field Investigator in order to gain access to haunted and historical locations, while also volunteering for UNIV-CON, a national academic paranormal conference held at Penn State by PRS. She was inspired to join PRS after attending a lecture by Lorraine Warren and discovering a newspaper article on the club a year prior. 

Unaware that joining PRS would convert her hobby of ghost hunting and history into a career in television, Taddy had also contemplated twirling baton in the Blue Band, joining the French club, comedy club, or the juggling club, but instead she chose PRS.

While going through the club’s extensive training, Taddy realized that A&E had been in the process of creating a docu-series where cameras followed the group’s investigations of alleged paranormal phenomena at reportedly haunted locations. Unaware of a TV series upon joining PRS, Taddy continued training and attending meetings, all while focusing on her degrees and playing bass in an experimental rock band called Heavy Radio. She decided to audition to gain access to interesting locations. Producers liked her quirky personality and the fact that she was clearly into ghost hunting for the thrill of it.

Paranormal State premiered in 2007 with 2.5 million viewers. Taddy served as Documentarian, Researcher and Investigator on seasons 1 through 4, while also assisting with casework. By applying psychological knowledge to both field work and investigation and working with clients in a diverse variety of cases, Taddy gained a logical understanding of the different aspects behind a haunting.

Since then she’s co-hosted Travel Channel’s Alien Highway with researcher and former law enforcement officer Chuck Zukowski, and his son Dan. The series was based off of a NY Times best selling book The 37th Parallel that explored Zukowski’s theory that many UFO phenomena occurs along the 37th latitude of the US. Together, they pursued cases in search for definitive proof of UFOs along America’s Alien Highway.

Taddy has co-hosted various other series such as Portals to Hell with Jack Osbourne and Katrina Weidman & The CW’s Mysteries Decoded with Jennifer Marshall. Currently, she co-hosts, produces and films an investigative series called Travel the Dead alongside her best friend Katrina Weidman. It can be seen on Weidman’s YouTube channel. Taddy and Weidman also produce and host a series for Very Local called Mysteries on the Map.

When she isn’t exploring or researching historical locations and looking to the skies for the unknown, Taddy is a musician, roller-skater, lover of vintage clothing, costume design, photography, and film.
