Sydney Ruff, MS
College Consultant

Sydney has spent over ten years working with neurodivergent students in her role as director of admissions and co-director of the campus ambassador program at a small liberal arts college specializing in neurodiversity. Sydney can relate on a personal level, as she has had her own journey with ADHD and Dyslexia.

When asked what inspired her to become a professional College Consultant for children who learn differently, Sydney responded, “Getting through high school was difficult, so thinking about what I wanted from a college (or even more from a career) became overwhelming. I was so focused on making it to graduation that I forgot about dreaming of what I wanted in life. Now, having lived through the experience, I feel honored that I can help the next generation and help make dreaming of what’s to come enjoyable and achievable.”  

Sydney is an alumna of this unique college and her experience as a student deeply impacted her view of the world and educational systems. After earning her associate degree, she transferred to Syracuse University, where she received her bachelor’s degree in Communications and Rhetoric followed by a master’s degree in Communication Management from Simmons University. Sydney lives in Vermont with her husband, Bob, and her dog, Ben; and enjoys cooking, crafting, public speaking, and experiencing the New England seasons.
