Throughout her career, Ms. Lyles has achieved several notable milestones.

Additionally, Ms. Lyles contributed to influencer packaging in New York, including the relaunch packaging and new website for Skin by Ella Rose. Most importantly, she considers her greatest achievement to be owning her own business for five years and staying self-employed.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in mass communication and media studies from Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge in 2018.

Ms. Lyles is passionate about preserving the culture of New Orleans and enhancing the quality of life for its residents. As such, she seeks to maintain this preservation through social advocacy and local elections.
