My name is Sydney, and I graduated from Oregon State University in 2025, summa cum laude, with a Bachelor's in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. While in college, I worked as a Teaching Intern in the Advanced Anatomy and Physiology lab, assisting up to 20 students in a lab section. My mentor during this time often encouraged us to try many different modalities when explaining concepts, which improved my ability to adapt to individual student needs and improve overall learning. Outside of science and medicine, I have worked as a camp counselor at Northwest Band Camp for four years. This job gave me experience working with kids ages 11-17 in small groups and during one-on-one lessons. Both my positions as a TI and camp counselor pushed me to improve my teaching strategies and seek new techniques to better support my students. I carry this value into every new teaching scenario, and I strive not only to help students learn the material but also to build strategies that help them learn.
