Tristan also served as Executive Director for the Yale International Relations Association and participated in the Yale Political Union. He has worked as an Assistant Editor at openDemocracy.net in London, and as Senior Manager of The Trolley Stop, a student-run eatery on campus.

In his free time, Tristan enjoys cycling, cheese tastings, and international cinema.
