Growing up in a musically talented family she has lived on the small town stage since the age of 5. A classical vocal student for over 12 years Sidney has preformed vocally in many different avenues and styles including, children’s choirs, musicals, local talent shows, and was accepted into OAKE National Honors Choir 5 times. She has also danced with the Tennessee Hoedowners as an Irish step dancer. She has been in The 2000 Bristol Passion Play and has played the role of Emma in Four tickets to Christmas produced at the Eastman employee center. She has been on stage for the Kingsport Liberty Celebration in 1997, 2000, 2002, 2004, and2006. She Played the role of Alice in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever Christmas 2004 and the role of Belle in A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley.

She is majoring in Fine Arts/Theater at Milligan College but she has also attended Northeast State Comunity College, receiving much of her theatrical training there. She hopes to finish out her degree before going after her dream of Broadway. One of Sidney's greatest hopes is that she can become a much needed role model for young girls, providing them with someone who is not afraid to take risks and get messy but who won't compromise on character to do so. .
