Tyla hails from the central west region of NSW, where she grew up on her family farm near Dubbo, igniting her passion for the beef and sheep industry. Her early involvement in the seed stock industry saw her exhibiting for local breeders at agricultural shows and youth events. After completing high school, Tyla spent her gap year working on a cattle station in the Pilbara, WA, before attending the University of New England in Armidale.

During university holidays, Tyla gained a diverse experience in the domestic agriculture sector and traveled abroad to work on a feedlot and ranch in Canada. She credits her broad perspective on global agriculture to these international experiences. After graduating in 2020 with a Bachelor of Agriculture and a Bachelor of Business, majoring in Marketing, Tyla worked for an Organic Export Beef and Lamb Operation in Dubbo.

In 2021, Tyla joined Elders as the NSW Stud Stock and Livestock SSO, where she gained extensive understanding of seedstock operations and hands-on experience across various aspects of the supply chain, making her well-equipped to meet the needs of our producers.

Tyla is thrilled to return to the Australian seedstock industry after spending a year in the US, working as a lab technician and semen analyst at a bull collection center, and gaining experience at a bull feedlot and backgrounding facility at a large stud operation.
