Starting in 2013, he also has worked as a WIC Program Specialist for the USDA-Food and Nutrition Services Program(FNS) for ten years. During his time at FNS, Tyrik has also served as the Lead Diversity and Inclusion Specialist where he hosted cultural events locally and nationally.

Prior to joining the City in February 2024, Tyrik also served as a consultant for Thacher Montessori School, where he worked with youth with a variety of organizational and behavioral challenges. He was born and raised in Mattapan/ Roxbury, and is now a proud resident of Hyde Park.
