Sydney’s passion for movement began as a competitive gymnast and evolved through coaching preschool gymnastics, sparking her interest in pediatrics. She earned her B.S. in Physiological Science from UCLA and her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Boston University, where she deepened her appreciation for the body’s adaptability and resilience. During her time with a Boston-based pediatric adaptive sports program, she saw children connect, grow, and thrive, which brought her deep joy and showed her that anything is possible with the right support. This experience inspired her passion for helping children reach their full potential, a passion further strengthened during her clinical rotation with NAPA LA. Sydney takes an evidence-based, holistic approach, prioritizing patient- and family-centered care while fostering confidence in each child and hope in every family. Outside the clinic, she enjoys exploring LA’s food and matcha scene, running, thrifting, and chasing sunsets (preferably at the beach!) with family and friends.
