Hi, I'm Sydney! :)

I'm a Systems Design Engineering student at the University of Waterloo focusing on Human Factors and Interface Design. I'm passionate about using research and data to back decisions that keep the user at the core of it all. This desire to understand the 'why' behind users' choices led to UX Research and Product where I could use my skills to develop impactful products. I am currently seeking new grad UX Research or Product roles starting after June 2025.

My Career so far

I started my career with internships across many different disciplines, from business, to development to product in various industries including insurance, military, and tech. I enjoy being the voice of the user when collaborating with designers, product managers and engineers to ensure user needs are being met and prioritized.

My Hobbies

Outside of pondering social norms and people's behaviours, I love to go to concerts, play card games and travel! I recently came back from 5 months living in Sweden studying at Lund University, where I got to experience Scandinavian culture and travel to 10+ countries, my favourites being Portugal, Italy, Iceland and Morocco. See some photos from my travels!

I grew up competitively swimming, but during university joined the artistic swimming team placing 4th at Nationals! I also competed in the innertube waterpolo intramurals, placing 1st in the league!
