Sabah Uddin, Communications Manager

Sabah Uddin is a senior and the Communications Manager for The Sidekick. Her favorite part of being in The Sidekick is being able to cover events and meet people she never would’ve known before. Through The Sidekick she has gotten to step out of her comfort zone in discovering sports photography and feature writing.

When she’s not covering an event for The Sidekick or competing with the Coppell High School DECA chapter, you can find her exploring new restaurants and cafes. Her favorite food is Thai food and she is always game for some Mango Sticky Rice.
