A Chihuahua, a Dalmatian, a poodle and a pug \u2013 96 pups face off for a furry football game at GEICO stadium, complete with commentators, instant-replays, a referee, even an MVP puppy player.<\/p>\n<p>Wiggling tails and waggling tongues make for an intimidatingly adorable rivalry with an air of spontaneity, but it\u2019s all been carefully curated by Kyler and her colleagues. Viewers who can peel their eyes off the pups, will see the Photoshop and graphic design skills Kyler acquired in college on full display on sponsor banners around the field.<\/p>\n<p>Kyler describes her <em>Puppy Bowl<\/em> schedule as a \u201cnon-stop rollercoaster,\u201d supporting teams of executives, producers and more. From booking crew and scheduling travel to coordinating catering and assisting with talent, she stays busy on- and off-set.<\/p>\n<p>Hailing from Staunton, Virginia, she liked UMW\u2019s intimate campus. She\u2019d always loved art but didn\u2019t know if it would bring a paycheck. So she set her sights on biology and a pre-medical track \u2026 until she pushed past her comfort zone, stepped into the classrooms of Melchers Hall and embarked on a major in art.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe art department was fundamental to my growth as an artist and as a person,\u201d she said. \u201cI grew mentally, artistically and conceptually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s thanks in part to Professor of Art and Art History Carole Garmon, who convinced Kyler she could make a living pursuing her passion. She recalls that \u201ca-ha moment\u201d in her capstone course when Garmon passed around a handout listing career opportunities. The two worked together to land Kyler an internship with National Geographic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe jumped in with the same curiousness and gusto as she does with all her projects,\u201d Garmon said of her former student, who also served as photography editor for the school newspaper. \u201cShe\u2019s a go-getter.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:7,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.umw.edu\\\/news\\\/2020\\\/01\\\/31\\\/umw-alum-produces-puppy-bowl-cuteness\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:230672515}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1100px; height: 443px;\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-original-height=\"443\" > <div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 333px; height: 443px;\" data-original-width=\"333\" data-original-height=\"443\" > <div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2020\/01\/31\/umw-alum-produces-puppy-bowl-cuteness\/jk4\/\" border=\"0\" itemprop=\"url\"> <meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"329\"> <meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"439\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" data-attachment-id=\"90168\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/JK4.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"960,1280\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"JK4\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/JK4-225x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/JK4-768x1024.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/JK4.jpg?w=329&#038;h=439&#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/JK4.jpg 960w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/JK4-225x300.jpg 225w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/JK4-768x1024.jpg 768w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/JK4-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/JK4-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/JK4-855x1140.jpg 855w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/01\/JK4-450x600.jpg 450w\" width=\"329\" height=\"439\" loading=\"lazy\" data-original-width=\"329\" data-original-height=\"439\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"JK4\" alt=\"After receiving a bachelor&#039;s degree from UMW, Kyler went on to earn a master&#039;s in photographic and electronic media at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
