PORTFOLIO

Hi there!

I’m Sydney Boyd, a multimedia journalist based in London with a background in travel, culture, and environmental reporting. Originally from Florida, I hold a BA in Media and Communication Studies and am currently completing my MA in Multimedia Journalism at the University of Westminster.

My work spans digital and print, from long-form features to social video, and often explores how people move through the world, from sustainable tourism and Gen Z relationships to grassroots conservation efforts.
