Tyzen House is a senior at the Culinary Institute of America, pursuing his passion for culinary arts. He is working to complete his final two semesters and graduate from the program. Tyzen’s path has not been easy. His father suffered a serious workplace accident that required major medical procedures, including the fusion of vertebrae in his neck and the replacement of both hips. He has been classified as disabled and is no longer able to work. His mother, a retired military veteran, has been a sustaining force in the House and Home , providing strength and support for the family while living on a fixed income. Even after applying FAFSA assistance, school awards and small student loans, a significant funding gap remained. Tyzen turned to Kids’ Chance of Maryland for help — and with that support, he is closer to achieving his dream.
This past semester, Tyzen was recognized as one of the top students in his mixology class. His professors have begun using his mixed drinks and cocktails as part of the curriculum, and he has also been given the opportunity to assist with teaching through the work-study program.
