Early life and education

Tyinen was born into an Irish-American family in Salem, Massachusetts, the youngest of 3 siblings. She reportedly watched the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind in 1983, shortly after the creation of the NBAS itself, and set her sights on it "almost right away" as a child, continuing such a path into adulthood. She gained a Bachelor of Science in 1998 and was accepted into the NBAS in 1999.

Work in the NBAS and the Walcott Commission

Main Article: Walcott Commission

With a degree in Anthropology, Tyinen was eventually assigned to the Hominid Relocation Committee in 2000, working in various locations in Washington as part of the Committee's international agreements until 2002, when she as assigned to be a general NBAS field agent back in Massachusetts. Eventually in 2003 she was assigned to the then-classified Walcott Commission on the Occult, a project to investigate reported cult and occult activity around Essex County, Massachusetts. Given her age, Tyinen was reportedly an "odd pick" for the Commission, but was chosen for her familiarity with the county and her background in the NBAS for several years. Ultimately the Commission came up mostly empty, and was mockingly dubbed by the media as "just another witch trial for Salem".

City Council of Arkham

Tyinen was elected to the 20-man council of Arkham in June 2004, with connections to the Progressive Party. She became known in the town mostly for her various paranormal pop culture reference proposals to the council. She proposed a vote to name the NBAS Academy in the town to Miskatonic University, which was reportedly "closer than it should've been" at passing. Other proposals include renaming the Post Office after Kiki's Delivery Service, which apparently passed before being rolled back after getting a condemnation by the Reedy Creek government, forcing cigarette companies to repackage into Morley's instead of a smoking ban, naming an NBAS boat the Thunderchild, and naming the Hawaiian Joint Office after Lilo and Stitch, among many others.

Tyinen was forced into resignation and returned to the NBAS in January 2005, reportedly saying "I better not end up like that Mark, Marsh... March guy."

Personal Life

Tyinen is Lesbian and currently resides in Arkham, Massachusetts with her wife.
