Hi, I’m Tyler.
I’m a New York-based data-driven creative and recent college graduate. In school, I focused on data, design, and how tech can shape the way people connect with the world. I’m especially passionate about urban planning and transportation: how cities move, grow, and shape culture. My work spans digital marketing, user research, public opinion polling, and policy, and I’m drawn to projects that mix analytical thinking with storytelling to make complex issues more human and digestible.

Experience
Digital Marketing Analyst Intern, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, 2024
- Analyzed Bird Academy survey and course enrollment data using R and Excel to segment course participants and uncover patterns in their engagement and preferences, guiding audience targeting strategy
- Created visual and text assets for digital marketing needs such as emails, advertising, and social media posts and published them using tools such as HubSpot and Buffer
- Collected and merged MTA ridership data, station features, and US Census data to analyze drivers of NYC subway ridership using Python and SQL
- Built a multiple regression model to analyze how job density, population density, service frequency, distance to Midtown, ADA accessibility, and other factors predict station-level ridership
- Final model explained ~70% of variation in NYC subway ridership, identifying strong relationships between accessibility, land use, and transit demand
- Contributed a question to a national opinion poll conducted by Verasight
- Used R to clean and analyze survey data, identifying key drivers behind ticket-splitting behavior in the 2024 U.S. election
- Found that policy preferences and candidate favorability were both strongly influential, with favorability emerging as stronger motivator than unfavorability
- Worked with a team of three other students to study how economic inequality, measured by employment rate and annual income, compares among people in different categories of disability (segmented into two age groups)
- Used R to analyze data sourced from the 2023 IPUMS Annual Social and Economic (ASEC) supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS)
- Submitted work to the Population Association of America (PAA) 2025 Annual Meeting
- Worked together with a team of three other students to develop a communications and tech-supported mass evacuation plan for vulnerable communities in New Orleans, integrating traffic simulation, SMS alerts and Google Maps routing
