Sydney is a recent graduate of East Carolina University, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Interpersonal Communication and competed for 4.5 years as a member of the ECU Women’s Soccer Team. During her time as a student-athlete, Sydney faced the challenge of navigating a long-term injury that kept her off the field — a turning point that introduced her to the transformative power of therapy.

Through her own therapy journey in college, Sydney discovered a deep passion for mental health and wellness. She quickly became an advocate for others, serving as one of the leaders of Morgan's Message, a national organization dedicated to ending the stigma surrounding mental health in student-athletes.

Sydney now brings her compassion, lived experience, and communication skills to Waves of Wellness Studio as a Client Care Coordinator, where she strives to make every client feel heard, supported, and comfortable as they begin or continue their mental health journey. She is passionate about creating a welcoming environment and believes wholeheartedly in the power of therapy to foster healing and growth.
