Shani Tyson is currently studying Business Administration at Life University. She was born and raised in California.

Tyson has always been interested in pursuing a degree in Business. โ€œEven in high school I was part of a club called DECA, Distributive Education Clubs of America, for all four years, and I was the president my senior year.โ€ She was also part of FBLA โ€“ the Future Business Leaders of America.

โ€œI got recruited from the womenโ€™s wrestling team by Ashley [Sword] and Christian [Flavin]. I really enjoyed the community that Life University offers and the team that they were building, and I wanted to be a part of it.โ€

As a Resident Assistant at the Commons, a Work-Study student with Campus Recreation and Wellness and a part of the womenโ€™s wrestling team, being involved on campus is an important part of Tysonโ€™s experience at Life U.

โ€œIโ€™m the social media assistant for Rec and Wellness, so I get to share posts and make fliers to let people know about the events that we are hosting.โ€

Her best advice for current and future students is to be involved.

โ€œI know itโ€™s easy as an athlete to just be focused on one thing โ€“ your sport โ€“ but the school has so much more to offer. They have amazing resources to help you figure out what you want to do after you graduate.โ€
