Greetings!

Hi everyone! My name is Sydney Veimau and I am so excited to be the newest addition to theClearwater Beach Chamber of Commerce. 

I was born in Santa Cruz, California and moved to Dunedin when I was three years old, where I haveresided ever since. Growing up, I spent almost every weekend on Clearwater Beach and have enjoyedwatching the island transform into the beautiful attraction that it is today. I graduated this past Junefrom Palm Harbor University High School's Medical Magnet Program and am currently enrolled in online classes at St. Petersberg College. When I'm not working or doingschool work, I enjoy boating, spending time with my family and friends andtraveling. 

I am so Honored to be a part of the Beach Chamber and am lookingforward to meeting each and every one of you!
