Meet Sydney
In June 2025, I graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in Industrial Engineering. Grounded in a strong academic foundation and a passion for growth, I approach challenges with integrity, curiosity, and a detail-oriented mindset. My communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills have allowed me to succeed across diverse industries. I am now seeking a dynamic role where I can apply my skills, continue to grow, and contribute to meaningful outcomes.
Learn more about me below:
At the University of Washington, I held several leadership roles. As an Engineering Ambassador, I led outreach events, spoke on panels, and conducted campus tours. As Vice President of Service for alpha Kappa Delta Phi, I organized volunteer initiatives, fundraisers, and a charity event supporting Breast Cancer Awareness. I also volunteered at the Harborview Medical Center information desk.
