Her parents always encouraged her to pursue her passions, and now she's doing just that as a senior aerospace engineering student at Kent State's College of Aeronautics and Engineering (CAE).

The faculty of the College of Aeronautics and Engineering (CAE) inspired Sydney with its dedication to innovation, providing students ample opportunities to explore and grow.
