Meet our Summer Intern Sid
Tell us a little bit about your background. (Where did you grow up? What were you like as a child? Fondest childhood memory?)
I grew up in what is affectionately referred to as the “Gem City” aka Dayton Ohio. I think I must have been an annoying child due to my affinity for always asking too many questions… and I was also mostly covered in dirt at any given time.
One of my fondest childhood memories was waking up on my birthday to discover a new sleeping jack russel terrier puppy by my side.
What is your educational background?
I started off in the pursuit of a degree in Biotechnology and Biological Sciences with a concentration in Pharmacogenomics, after several years I decided to go back to school to pursue a Graphic Design degree with the hopes of integrating both fields into my work. I am currently interested in the Biomimicry PHD program offered by The University of Akron.
Tell us about yourself. Where did you grow up? What were you like?
I grew up in a suburb of Dayton called Riverside. As a youth I was a rambunctious and incurable prankster.
What about college?
I started off at Wright State University and Sinclair Community College. For Graphic Design I currently attend The University of Akron.
