As an undergraduate student in the Honors Program, he participated in two laboratory research projects involving mycobacteriophage isolation and gene sequencing, and the effect of diabetes medication on fish behavior.

In 2018, Mr. Andrade concluded his first year as a middle school teacher and graduated with his Master of Education, also from Merrimack College. Since earning his master's, Tyler has also obtained two graduate certificates dealing with school leadership and trauma education from Merrimack College and Lesley University respectively. Additionally, Mr. Andrade was a member of the Lynch Leadership Academy Cohort XIV through Boston College, where he completed a 14-month fellowship experience designed to equip leaders to dramatically increase achievement and outcomes for students in under-resourced communities, and to lead through change to foster and build upon equity in their school communities. As an educator in both private and public schools in Lawrence, Mr. Andrade taught multiple subjects including science, language arts, and mathematics. As a teacher, Mr. Andrade was very involved in his school communities, serving in many capacities outside of the classroom including: facilitating summer school, facilitating a service learning program, moderating a media club, coaching cross country and track, and serving on the school’s Instructional Leadership, School Leadership, Teacher Leadership, and Data Wise teams.
