Sidney is a sophomore at Stony Brook University double majoring in Mathematics and Creative Writing. When she isn't hitting the books or on the clock at the Vanderbilt Planetarium, she can be found playing Just Dance or spending time with Trooper, her beloved chihuahua. She spends her free time quoting "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," lamenting over Alan Turing, and jamming out to eighties music. Sidney hopes to pursue a career in screenwriting, but really wouldn't mind doing math for the rest of her days, either.
