Bio
Hey! Nice to meet you.
I'm Tyler, and I promote positive transformation in organizations and communities through education and sustainable change. I grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and discovered my passion for economic policy and urban economics at an early age.
I am now a junior at Central Michigan University studying Economics, Statistics, and Saxophone Performance. Yes, I know the last one is a little different than the others. I think my interdisciplinary approach reflects my belief in the power of diverse perspectives to tackle our societal and global challenges.
To embrace this belief, I founded TEDxCentral Michigan University to empower student leaders and promote ideas for a better world. As a platform for change-makers, we hosted our first conference this Spring, featuring eight inspiring speakers who explored "The Essence of a Changing World."
When I am not working on these goals, you can often find me holding a saxophone. From jazz to classical, I love the world of sound and getting to collaborate with fellow artists to foster creativity and artistic expression.
As I embark on this year's journey in the program, I am thrilled to connect with new friends who share my passion for making a difference. My goal is to positively impact Central Michigan University's campus and empower my peers while enjoying every moment of the process.
Let's build a better future together and make a lasting mark on our university and the world!
