The catalyst that inspires or, in some cases, deepens a passion is often serendipitous in nature. Unexpected, and yet powerful enough to alter a path toward something more fulfilling. Originally enrolled in the highly competitive paleontology program, Sydney Worthy made the decision to pivot to conservation biology in the Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences after her first year, recognizing that it was more closely aligned with her interests and professional goals.
