Sydney attended the University of Puget Sound and graduated with a double major in Environmental Policy and Decision Making and Francophone Cultural Studies. In Tacoma, she coordinated and led trips for the school’s outdoor program, ranging from backpacking to cross-country skiing. While studying abroad in France, Sydney researched the effects of climate change on local organic farms. Last summer, Sydney backpacked the entire Tour du Mont Blanc and practiced backcountry skills, finding inspiration in the beauty and challenge of the mountains.
