Sidney recently graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder, where he pursued a degree in History and another in French. The intersection of his two majors introduced him to the world of diplomacy and public service. He focused his academic curiosity on two principal geographical regions: the Middle East and North Africa, where he explored its rich history and literature. After spending time overseas as an English teacher in Grenoble, France, he committed his efforts to beginning a career in public service. He is excited to learn about American diplomacy, master his third and fourth languages, and learn from his peers at Georgetown. When Sidney is away from his books and newspapers, he is a passionate outdoorsman who loves skiing, fly fishing, and backpacking.
