Tyrrell is a freelance journalist who studied
journalism in high school and at Fresno City College. She later worked as a

Gazette from 2022 to 2023. She covered sports, education, and the outdoors
during her time in Mariposa, while also receiving an honorable mention in the

photo. Tyrrell is set to finish her journalism degree at FCC, then later transfer
to Fresno State University to pursue her teaching credential, or pursue a
career as an investigative journalist.
