Sydney chose to become an EA because it's a great opportunity to be more involved in JMU Engineering. "EA's do a lot of outreach to get more youth interested in engineering, which I think is very important," she says. Sydney chose JMU Engineering because its uniqueness - learning various types of engineering without sticking to one specific discipline. She is also involved in the Society of Women Engineers and CISE Mentor Collective. In her free time she enjoys spending time with friends, going to the gym, cooking, and watching TV.
