Tyler is the recipient of the Hispanic Chamber Foundation Scholarship funded by the Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. He attends Cornell University and has been in the HSC Scholar program since 2012. Tyler calls Round Rock, TX  home.

Tyler studying abroad 
in Madrid, Spain.

"The most worthwhile support that HSC has given me is through the Leadership Conferences. They are truly what sets HSC apart from every other scholarship program out there. Not only do we actually get to meet other scholars and professionals at these conferences, but they are also packed with very useful information about college, careers, and professionalism such that I become disappointed when I cannot attend. I am much more prepared walking into my last year of college as an HSC scholar rather than simply a graduate of my university."

Tyler is passionate about his involvement in Yamatai, a Japanese taiko drumming group at Cornell. As a freshman, he held leadership positions in the organization and will be serving as Music Director for his upcoming senior year. "I am happiest when leading groups, when creating something truly astonishing and magical, when  working with like-minded individuals, and when working mostly with the creative side of the brain."

Tyler plans to graduate May 2015 with a degree in Human Biology, and Health and Society. He hopes to find a career that merges his talents and interests. Tyler eventually plans pursue a post-secondary degree.
