Upon moving back to the United States, Cidney served as the founding operations manager for Capital Village Public Charter School, playing an instrumental role in the school’s design and launch.

One of Cidney’s proudest accomplishments is founding the nonprofit, iFLY Youth, an organization dedicated to developing middle school girls of color into global leaders through international travel and community building.
