The overall TigerCo initiative, which was highlighted on the cover of Founder Magazine, has become a blueprint for rallying community support and joint innovation. As part of her service learning, Tyler also co-created an online marketplace for goods from student entrepreneurs across the campus. Beyond her interest in community commerce, Tyler also served as a Graduate Teaching Assistant and received a Coca-Cola United Bottling Company Internship & Scholarship. Tyler is a graduate of Savannah State University where she earned a Bachelors in Business Administration in 2020 and an MBA in 2022. Tyler is currently an evening graduate student in Cyberpsychology at Norfolk State University.
