Sidney Snider is a junior studying journalism, public policy and the business of entertainment, media and technology. After spending a year as WSN’s Sports Editor, she’s taking on a management role and — somehow — spending more time in the office. When she’s not there, you may see one of her alter egos around New York City as a broadcaster at NYU Athletics, an intern with the Rangers, a sorority girl (sko piphi) or even a Yerba Madre ambassador. Find her on Instagram @sidsnid or @sidneysnider and send women’s basketball memes.
