It is an Echeveria of some type. It is growing taller because it is stretching to find enough light. It should only be a few inches tall. Giving it more light now will help new growth be more compact. You can behead it and root cutting if you like. Old stem will likely grow more heads too.

Your plant is an Echeveria and is not getting enough light. That leads to thin stems growing straight up with too much distance between leaves. It is called etiolation, and is not correctable. At this point, you may want to start over if you can find a location with much more available light.

Thank you for your reply! It's great to know why it kept growing taller.
