At Oxy, she was a part of Peer Health Exchange, Occidental Consulting Group, and studied abroad in Madrid, Spain.

Currently, Sydney is an intern with the United States House of Representatives in Washington D.C.

Professor Thalia González is a nationally recognized expert in the field of restorative justice. A core theme of her work is the examination of how restorative justice operates within the law and public systems to remedy disproportionality, structural inequality, and systemic harm. Her secondary research fields include juvenile justice, race, gender, and inequality, public interest legal practice, domestic human rights, and norm theory. Along with being a professor in the Oxy politics department, she is also a Senior Scholar at the Georgetown Law Center on Poverty and Inequality
