Students + Startups in the Jungle: Meet Sidney

Hello everybody, my name is Sidney and I am super stoked to be joining the Jungle Disk team this summer through the Students + Startups Internship program. I am a rising senior at Texas Tech University studying economics with minors in Spanish and transmedia. I love all things economics, entrepreneurship, innovation, art, and media. Currently, I am a McNair Research Scholar where I am researching innovation in startups.

Aside from school and work, I am a San Antonio native, adore my sweet grandparents, love to go to the YMCA, and run my dog's instagram @Mason_the_Vizsla. Yes, Mason is my child and in case you are wondering he does have a yearly birthday party. Being home in San Antonio and working in the tech district is such an amazing opportunity. I love being in San Antonio and spending my time with my wonderful grandparents whom I owe it all to. Without them, I wouldn't be where I am today!

Here at Jungle Disk, I will be working under my super stellar supervisor Christina, the Marketing and Communications Manager. Some goals I have during the next ten weeks are researching trending industry news, improving SEO, create engaging digital media and social campaigns, and content production for the blog. I love the environment here at Jungle Disk and it excites me to start my career post graduation-wherever my endeavors take me.
