Hi! I’m Sydney. I’m an editor, storyteller, and content strategist living in Brooklyn, NY.

I’m a former content manager for Meta, where I helped audiences discover engaging content. Using data analysis, editorial know-how, and UX research, I’ve helped communities and creators connect by curating and building compelling content for several Meta products and features like Reels, Adds Yours, groups, and Facebook’s now-defunct Lift Black Voices, a celebration of Black creators and culture. 

Before leaping into tech, I worked in entertainment and media, first as a staff writer for BuzzFeed and later as an entertainment editor for ESSENCE magazine. I led social strategy and community management for Tribeca Enterprises, where I had the opportunity to help launch We Are One, Tribeca and YouTube’s global online film festival. 

I’ve moderated panels at the American Black Film Festival and Sundance, where I had the opportunity to discuss romance and history with the cast of Sylvie’s Love. Throughout my career, I’ve produced a number of celebrity interviews for video and editorial, reported on red carpets, and hosted live events. My obsession with pop culture has even allowed me to speak on diversity and inclusion panels at major entertainment companies.
