Her Campus: What was the big deciding factor for you in choosing SCAD?
Tyler: The fashion programs and all of the great opportunities that SCAD’s fashion program has to offer. Also I felt my self-losing the love for NYC, so I had to get away for a little bit. Let me just say, I’ve definitely found my love again!
HC: How do you like it so far, and what are some of your favorite things to do around town?
Tyler: I really love the city so far, It’s much more different than New York City and the fast pace. I’m favorite thing to do around town is trying different restaurant’s. I’m a huge foodie!
HC: So you’re a model, a great one might I add. How does one go about pursuing you exactly? What typically draws you in?
Tyler: Thank you! Someone really just has to say “Hi” to me and start the conversation. I’m a true Aries in that sense, I love to be chased! What Typically draws me in, is someone with ambition and a personality and the little things about them. Their smile and the way they laugh. Also since I’m so tall (6’3) if they too are tall that is a huge plus!
HC: Do you think the fact that you model is intimidating for people who may want to pursue you?
Tyler: I hate to admit this, but I’ve been told that I intimidate people & I’ve never understood why. I don’t want that to sound cocky, but my biggest pet peeve is when people say “You’re out of my league” or “I never thought I had a chance with you.” For me it’s more about the mental connection, physical attraction is so common that people forget about the rest.
HC: What are 3 things that you look for in a significant other?
Tyler: There are really only three simple things. They have to have ambition, I have dreams and aspirations that I want out of life and I would love to have my significant other to have the same. They have to have a sense of “wanderlust,” I love to travel and explore new places. One of my goals is to live in London as well as visit every state and get a picture with the ‘’Welcome to______ sign.” Lastly they have to be able to make bad jokes and amazing coffee, just so I start every morning with a smile.
HC: Any deal breakers?
Tyler: It’s very simple, if they are cocky and don’t have humility I’m turned off.
HC: Describe the perfect first date.
Tyler: My perfect first date is simple; going out to dinner to new restaurant I’ve never been to because I love trying to new foods, but the restaurant has to have an intimate setting so there aren’t many distractions. Somewhere, where we can sit a crossed from one another and be able to have a conversation where we can learn about each other. A perfect date besides the physical setting has to deal with our chemistry. I’m a huge romantic and I want to show that.
HC: Who is your current celebrity crush and why?
Tyler: My current one is Anderson Cooper, because of those blue eyes and his bone structure!
HC: What’s your dream job?
Tyler: My dreams job is to model and be able to travel the world with my future family. With modeling though I want to make connections, so I can work with a high fashion magazine as a creative director and possible open up my own agency one day. PLUS I want to become a motivational speaker and help those who have gone through depression & not been able to love the skin they’re in.
HC: 3 fun facts about yourself:
Tyler: 1) I can dance like Beyoncé!
2) I’m an awesome cook!
3) I can raise both of my eyebrows & make funny faces with them!
HC: Where can you usually be found on campus?
Tyler: When I am on campus I’m usually in the Library or the computer lab working on homework. Or you can find me at the photo building working with photographers.
