My name is Tyler Wells and I am a graduate student pursuing an MBA in Strategic Leadership at the University of New Haven looking to pursue a career in journalism. I serve as the Editor-In-Chief of the Charger Bulletin, the student-run news organization on campus, and oversee a staff of 12 editors. I also play baseball at the university where I started in all four of my seasons, earning All-Academic District in 2022 and 2023.
