Sydney studied Environmental Engineering at the University of Arizona. Growing up in Tucson, she always enjoyed spending time outdoors, and this, coupled with an opportunity to be a member of the University of Arizona Eco-Reps and a very inspirational professor (shoutout to Paul Sheppard!), sparked her passion for sustainability and sustainable lifestyles. When she was not working as a Student Compost Specialist with Compost Cats, you could find her at the Campus Rec Pool, where she was a lifeguard, hanging out on University Boulevard grabbing a cup of tea or a poke bowl, or spending time art journaling or hand lettering!
