Tyler is a queer Jewish Puerto Rican actor and writer from Connecticut, USA. While in the U.S., they wrote and starred in the short drama Van Life and the comedy Wings.

Since moving to New Zealand in late 2023, Tyler has been active both on and off screen. They contributed to a Warner Bros. NZ and Lusty Productions writer’s room, played the male lead in Ren's music video In Too Deep, and worked as Production Talent Coordinator for the NZOA-funded web series Literally Dead (2024).

Currently, Tyler is developing a horror feature, an Australian-based rom-com TikTok series, and a slate of other projects—all while continuing their acting training and auditioning.
