About this listen
This week on Engineering Pack Pod, host Marcy Bullock talks with NC State alumna Sydney Russell about confidence, curiosity, and why “networking” doesn’t have to feel so intimidating. Sydney reflects on her journey from college advising and graduate school to working in higher education technology, sharing how navigating uncertainty and not always knowing what she wanted to be “when she grew up”, shaped her path. She explains how leading with genuine curiosity, rather than an agenda, helped her build meaningful relationships that opened doors along the way.From striking up conversations in class to following up months later with intention, Sydney offers practical, down-to-earth advice for building connections that actually last. Whether you’re an introvert, an extrovert, or somewhere in between, this episode is a reminder that showing up as yourself is often the best place to start.
