🎓 B.A., University of Texas at Austin

Sydney received her B.A. in Psychology with a minor in French Studies from the University of Texas at Austin in Fall 2022. Before graduate school, she worked in direct care at Helping Hand Home for Children, supporting traumatized youth—an experience that sparked her interest in the lasting effects of trauma on memory and behavior. Sydney will be joining the Ph.D. program in Psychology at McGill University in Fall 2025. Her research focuses on how emotional memories evolve over time to shape meaning, particularly how they influence decision-making processes across different stages. In the Dunsmoor Lab, Sydney coordinates both behavioral and MRI studies, with responsibilities ranging from study design and data collection to training new lab members. She is passionate about creating collaborative and inclusive research environments. Outside of the lab, Sydney enjoys writing poetry (in both French and English), drawing, cooking, rock climbing, and spending time with her orange tabby, Wilbur.
