Originally from central Florida, Tyla moved to Houston as a teen. She attended Louisiana Tech University where she earned a B.S. in Kinesiology and Health Promotion.  While in school, she volunteered with the special olympics and the local early education center to put on adaptive sports programs for special needs students throughout the year. 

Prior to joining the Love146 team, Tyla worked in college athletics for nearly a decade with the last 4 of those years focused on fundraising and development. She was captured by everyone’s passion for Love146 and the work they do and  is excited to see that passion in action.

Tyla loves to read, travel, try new foods, play with her dog Kangaroux & hang out with her husband, family and friends.
