Tyler Litt is a Louisiana native from a family of leaders in education and healthcare. She has spent the past six years working in education and holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology from Loyola University - New Orleans. She serves as Director of Investments with New Schools for Baton Rouge. In this role, she partners with various stakeholders---schools (leaders, educators, and students), nonprofit and community organizations, and families—to increase access to quality and equitable education for every student in Baton Rouge.

With roots grounded in and a deep love for Baton Rouge, she is passionate about driving and mpacting positive change within Baton Rouge’s educational landscape. An adamant believer that education can change the trajectory of one’s life, she is indefatigable about centering the work she does from a lens of equity. Toni Morrison said it best “When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.” Every day Tyler strives to find the best in each person, each challenge, and each system while working towards empowering others to identify opportunities and create systems that will foster equity.

Tyler is a lifelong learner and has the willingness to serve others in any capacity necessary. She has professional affiliations with American Red Cross, Barton Leadership Program alumna, Capital Area CASA (Advocate), Forum 225 (Vice President of Membership), Urban Leadership Development Initiative alumna, and Urban League of Louisiana Young Professionals (Vice President).

In her leisure time, she enjoys thrifting, spending time with her god-twins, and experiencing new things and places.
