We welcome Sydney Gardner as our new Office Administrator!

Sydney Gardner joined the Coastal Land Trust in August 2021. Sydney grew up in South Carolina. Childhood summers visiting her grandfather in Holden Beach and New Bern helped instill in her a deep appreciation for North Carolina’s beautiful coast.

She earned degrees in political science and history from Presbyterian College (Clinton, SC). She recently earned a Master of Public Administration with a concentration in nonprofit management from Texas A&M University (College Station, TX). Sydney is passionate about the nonprofit sector and making a difference. She is thrilled to begin her nonprofit career with the Coastal Land Trust.

In her free time, Sydney loves enjoying the outdoors, reading, watching sports, going to the beach, exploring new restaurants, and spending time with her new puppy, Potato.
