Sydni Williams || Marketing Director
Sydni Williams is a writer, actress, and learner from Framingham, Massachusetts. She is strong believer of appreciating the little things in life like sunsets, boxes of chocolate, and ice cream on a hot day. Despite her loyalty to these timeless cliches, Sydni would more accurately describe herself as a realist in love with the literary arts. Sydni spends most of her time reading dramas, writing poems, and participating in the St. Marks plays. The Parkman post allows Sydni to pursue a different passion for journalism and write freely about her thoughts.

Just like what Richard Wagner said: ““Music is the inarticulate speech of the heart, which cannot be compressed into words, because it is infinite.” Music is her spirit and her forever confidant. Using the language of music, she explores the world in a different lens, giving her a completely different view toward current political and global events.
