He was accepted by the UN Youth Office to be a Youth Delegate for the Summit of the Future, held during UN General Assembly Week 2024. He looks forward to meeting youth members from around the world to co-design solutions in achieving impact for people and the planet. In particular, he wishes to upskill on focus areas such as biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse and adverse effects on AI.
Looking ahead, Tyler aims to attend a top-tier research university, with the long-term goal of leveraging his multidisciplinary background in a career in international relations to tackle complex global challenges like climate change, sustainability, art integration, and healthcare innovation. Tyler is determined to make a lasting impact on the world stage with his peer leaders.
