ADMISSIONS EXPERIENCE
Northeastern University, Admissions Fellow
College of the Holy Cross, Assistant Director of Admission
Regis University, Assistant Director of Admissions
Sydney’s interest in college admissions started her senior year at Northeastern, where she completed a co-op on the Marketing and Communications Team in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. In this position, she learned how much effort and thought went into the brochures, websites, emails, and social media platforms that prospective students viewed. She later became a Northeastern Admissions Fellow, where she conducted information sessions and learned the ins and outs of working in an admissions office.
A few years after graduation, Sydney joined the College of the Holy Cross admissions team. There, she deepened her passion for admissions through connecting with and interviewing prospective students from all over the world and participating in a selective admissions committee. After three years in Worcester, Sydney joined a fellow Jesuit institution, Regis University, on their undergraduate admissions team. Her journey led her to pursue an MS in Marketing, and when she's not supporting prospective undergraduates, she now works at the University of Colorado’s School of Pharmacy, recruiting students into the Pharm.D. program.
Sydney's multifaceted experiences in undergraduate and graduate admissions as well as her understanding of marketing and storytelling drive her love of supporting students and helping them present their narratives. As someone who only looked at big schools in big cities during her own college search, she now recognizes the importance of taking time to appreciate the various types of schools out there and hopes to bring a variety of options to her students in pursuit of their goals. In her free time, you’ll find Sydney either sharing the couch with her pup and husband, cross-stitching college buildings and friends' homes, or out in the mountains of Colorado exploring and skiing.
