About Sydney Ross

When it comes down to what I love most, it\'s the people. I thrive in the kind of environment where I can put my relationship building skills to use. I love to be able to use my communication platform to share their stories and create an impact. I have experience working with volunteers and stakeholders through day-to-day operations, public relations, and event planning and coordination. I am always eager to explore new interests and absorb more knowledge. I am quick to step out of my comfort zone and try something new or take on a new role or project, as I believe success is obtained by stepping out of those boundaries. I am continuously seeking ways to grow both personally and professionally. I received a Master of Public Administration from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, concentrating in Nonprofit Management, and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Anthropology from DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana.
