Today’s graduate spotlight is Sydney Sexton from Jonesborough, TN. Sydney plans to remain in the East Tennessee area and work with the pediatric population. She has been reminder through job searching how fortunate she is to be part of a field where she can find enjoyment working with any population and in any setting. During her time at ETSU, Sydney was president of NSSLHA, participated in research regarding the efficacy of ETSU’s Positive Eating Program as well as personal perspectives of young adults with cleft lip and/or palate. She also participated in the International Interprofessional Education Program and maintained a tuition scholarship through the Department of Art and Design. Sydney’s favorite memory was “Before the pandemic when some of the graduate students stayed late to complete semester status reports and were feeling the urge to have some good-natured fun. With everyone else gone, we pulled out the sit-and-scoot scooters and roller around the long halls. Being able to have fun in the same way children do was just another reminder of the many benefits to spending most of our days surrounded by kiddos and individuals with similar passions to your own.” Congratulations and good luck, Sydney! 🎓
