Tyra is a girl dreamer from Quezon City, Philippines.

Dedicating her life to service and breaking the stigma around mental health, Tyra dreams of becoming a psychologist or psychiatrist someday. Having witnessed firsthand the challenges brought about by mental illness, she aspires to help build a more compassionate and inclusive society. She envisions herself developing new, evidence-based tools and treatments that bring healing and hope to her future patients.

Tyra is the eldest of three children. Her father works as a construction worker, while her mother serves as an office aide. As the eldest, she takes pride in helping her parents care for her younger siblings - especially her younger brother, who has neurodivergence - fostering her sense of empathy and responsibility early on.

Committed to excellence, Tyra puts in hard work and diligence in everything she does. Her determination was evident when she ranked 27th among 168 Grade 11 students in a competitive science high school.

To deepen her imagination and maintain balance, Tyra spends her free time reading, which helps her think more creatively. Recently, she also found joy in planting - discovering how fulfilling it feels to nurture and see something grow.

Keeping a balance between logic and emotion, Tyra finds joy in Science and English, believing that both subjects help shape her into a well-rounded individual ready to make a meaningful difference.
