Tyler Whaley Senior Profile

Tyler Whaley, Fort Walton Beach, Florida, Organizational Communication

What’s next for you after graduation?

I have a Legislative Internship at the Tennessee State Capitol starting in the fall. Right after graduation I’m returning home to Florida to work in Real Estate.

What are your long-term career goals?

I want to be a Lobbyist. I’m hoping with my internship at the State Capitol I can really learn the tricks of the trade and get my foot in the door.

What is the most important thing you learned at Lipscomb?

There are too many to say specifically, but what I can say is that I learned to trust in myself and my abilities. I feel I have been given the tools and the training to go out in the real world and survive.

Who at Lipscomb influenced you the most? How?

Probably Nancy McDaniel because she does so much for the communication department.  Her selflessness and generosity will always be something I will remember and carry with me.
