Bio
Beth Kohler
As a member of the editorial team Cydney supervised for nearly four years, I have found her to be a confident leader who is straightforward, approachable, and efficient. A steadfast advocate for her team, she knew when to be hands-off and when to pitch in to help meet deadlines. I highly recommend Cydney.
LinkedIn User
Cydney and I were peers and colleagues at Pearson. Although we came from different industries, she was intellectually curious about my technical expertise and a very quick study. She is an optimist and that carried over into our work environment, making it a better place to work. Always supportive of her editorial team, it is obvious Cydney enjoys managing people and they appreciated having her in that role. I would enjoy working with her again.

I am excited to join EM:RAP, the premier source for Emergency Medical education, where I am the new Managing Editor for a revolutionary new online Emergency Medicine textbook, CorePendium. Updated continuously, CorePendium provides life-saving information in the palm of your hand. Once again, it is fulfilling to be associated with a mission-driven organization focusing on education instead of their P&L.
