Gala Committee

Sydney Ciota

Hello! I'm Sydney and I'm so excited to serve on WIB's Gala committee this year. I'm a first year international business major and I'm from upstate New York. I love to exercise, read, hike, ski, travel and meet new people. WIB has already provided me with tremendous opportunities to meet inspiring and incredible people, and I can't wait to help put on another great gala this year and raise money for one of the wonderful nonprofits in the Columbus community.
