I had the pleasure of meeting Sydnee at a mutual friend’s open house, and I knew right away we’d become fast friends. She is warm, genuine, and incredibly friendly.
I’ve had the joy of attending many of Sydnee’s events—from candle-making workshops to volunteering at a nonprofit birthday celebration. Each time, she introduced me to new people and meaningful experiences.
Recently, I was among many who were laid off from my position. When I shared my situation with Sydnee, she immediately connected me with people who could help me take the next step in my career. I will be forever grateful for her kindness and support.
Through both good times and difficult moments, I’ve never seen Sydnee lose her joy for life or her passion for people. Her energy is unmatched and truly infectious. When you have the opportunity to work with Sydnee, you’ll understand exactly what I mean—you’ll walk away feeling supported, encouraged, and inspired.
Sydnee is truly one of a kind, and I’m so grateful to call her my friend.

Educator
I had the absolute pleasure of connecting with and talking to Sydnee recently. We’ve been working together for several years organizing blood drives with the high school where I teach. During our conversation, we discussed our business, then we were just able to share our lives with one another for a while. What started out as a work relationship has grown into something more, for which I’m so very grateful in my life. She has such an amazing presence that I have been immediately drawn to since the first time we met.
Her personality and enthusiasm for being and doing better is contagious!!

Brand Strategy
An authentic leader who lifts others as she climbs.
Working with Sydnee on Vitalant blood drives over the past few years has been a masterclass in mission-driven partnership. But beyond the logistics and success of our drives, we have somehow managed to forge a powerful bond, equally committed to creating meaningful change.
Sydnee’s authentic energy radiates out to everyone in the room. She embodies the support she champions, as one who’s on the receiving end of her incredible encouragement, I can attest to her being an attentive sounding board!
That is how I know her new venture, Connector for Good, is the most natural and inspired extension of her spirit. She understands the power of meaningful connections not as a business tactic, but as a fundamental truth. Sydnee’s the real deal! She’s a connector, a supporter and a force for good. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
