Ms. Tyler practices immigration law and worker’s compensation law. Following the completion of a Bachelor of Science degree from Brigham Young University, Ms. Tyler received a Master’s in Public Health degree, emphasis on international health and poverty, from the University of Utah Department of Family & Preventive Medicine. Ms. Tyler later received her Juris Doctor from the University of Utah S. J. Quinney College of Law and is licensed to practice law in Utah. Along with her Juris Doctor, Ms. Tyler earned a Certificate in Public Interest Law & Policy by volunteering over 100 hours in the College of Law’s Pro Bono Initiative Legal Clinics conducted throughout Salt Lake City. Ms. Tyler gained experience drafting documents to facilitate legal aid for Navajo victims of domestic violence, protect nonimmigrant sheep herders from exploitation, and combat the opioid epidemic within the Navajo Nation.
Ms. Tyler chose to focus on immigration law after gaining experience in defensive asylum cases and violations of H-2B visas while interning with the following nonprofit organizations: Immigration Legal Services and Utah Legal Services. Ms. Tyler also interned for Judge David Nuffer within the U.S. District Court, District of Utah, and gained valuable experience researching, analyzing, and drafting opinions concerning a variety of federal law issues within the District of Utah. Ms. Tyler’s decision to practice Worker’s Compensation law was inspired by her father’s (Jinks Dabney) Workers’ Compensation law practice developed over more than 50 years. Mr. Dabney is currently mentoring Ms. Tyler with his extensive experience and knowledge in this area of law as many undocumented individuals, as well as documented individuals who do not speak English, are often denied Worker’s Compensation coverage despite their eligibility.
Ms. Tyler developed Spanish language skills while living in Asuncion, Paraguay for 18 months as a proselyting missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She enjoys trail running, reading good books, skiing, biking, and backpacking with her family.
