From the start of her career, Sydney has remained passionate about one thing: effective mentorship.

Graduating summa cum laude from the University of California, Berkeley in 2017, Sydney earned dual B.A. degrees in Anthropology and Geography with Phi Beta Kappa distinction, and in 2020 went on to earn her Master’s in Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School. She is now pursuing her doctorate (PhD) from the University of Hawai’i Mānoa.

Her goal is to teach the new generation how to harness confidence in the power of their own stories, and to train students to become lifelong writers from every walk of life. In words, there is power.

She believes in the power of the imaginative thinking. In today’s saturated AI-driven market, the need for human-centered skills is paramount, and she can offer guidance as a mentor, experienced writing coach, and design thinker to help students of any age achieve their potential.
