Sydney is a commercial litigation and medical malpractice attorney. She represents health care providers, including hospitals, health systems, physicians, nurses, dentists, and long-term care providers in medical malpractice and professional liability defense matters.

Sydney’s practice approach is to establish trust, which empowers her to assist clients through difficult scenarios and to provide the relief or results the clients seek. Sydney welcomes challenging client questions and issues with open arms, as legal research is one of her best skills. 

In her spare time, Sydney loves to read. One of her favorite authors is Jodi Picoult. She also enjoys the fall, primarily because she loves watching the National Football League.

During law school, Sydney gained practical experience in the Federal Litigation and Appeals Clinic. Through the clinic, she successfully assisted a Ghanaian immigrant with his application for Asylum. Additionally, Sydney argued and won an appeal before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
