Finding fun in Sydney Wade’s future
From a young age, senior Sydney Wade was born to make math fun. As she studies finance and accounting at Western Michigan University, Wade is bringing the lessons she learned from her youth into the classroom. “I come from a family of entrepreneurs and have been surrounded by business concepts since I was little. So many experiences have shaped me and helped me choose my major in finance and minor in accounting because I’ve always had real-time exposure to business plans, financial books and customer service,” says Wade.
