Bio
Jake Kramer
In my time as a manager for Syd it has been apparent that they are an excellent and knowledgable member of our team. It is extremely comforting for me to trust and know that my expectations will be met or exceeded whenever Syd takes up a task. It is also nice to have the level of expertise and leadership that they exemplify to their other team members. Their skills in video production and organization are very much appreciated, but above all I appreciate the professionalism and care they bring to the things they do. It is not a stretch to say that my job is made not just easier, but better by Syd's presence on our team.
Ellen Schmidt
Any employer would be lucky to have Syd on their team, not only because they are a fantastic videographer, but also because they are a dependable employee. In Syd's time at the Minnesota Daily, they have produced consistently solid video journalism, brought new ideas to the team, and improved with each assignment. Syd has never missed a deadline and is skilled at communicating the intricacies of producing a video with their peers and bosses. Creativity, consistency and strong work ethic are what Syd excels at most. The video team at the Minnesota Daily depends on Syd for strong weekly content.
