Why Sydney Chose to Work at EOC
When asked why she chose to work at East Ohio College, Sydney stated that she loves the smaller school setting and the smaller class size. This provides the opportunity to connect with the students on a more one-on-one setting and better assist them with being successful in the program and reaching their educational and employment goals. Her favorite part of working at East Ohio College is the friendly comradery between all of the instructors and the closeness between the instructors and the students.
Sydney’s favorite memory while working at East Ohio College is the warm welcome she received from the staff and students on her first day. The family atmosphere really promotes a positive team culture that is not found at some of the larger colleges.
Personal Life and Motivation
Sydney is motivated by her daughter and her baby, who is on the way. She wants to show them the power of education and be successful in providing them with the best life possible. She is very proud of the family she has created with her husband, daughter, and baby on the way! When not instructing at East Ohio College, she enjoys spending time with her family and making great memories that will last a lifetime. An interesting fact about Sydney is that she loves history, specifically presidential history.
