Tyler was the original voice of Daisy Fitzroy in BioShock Infinite, a 2013 video game, but her recordings were not used and Kimberly Brooks got the role.

At Dartmouth College, Tyler helped start the Dartmouth Rockapellas and performed with the group. The all-female a cappella ensemble aimed to spread social awareness through song.
