She graduated from Clarkson University in 1981 with a bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering and was a member of Phalanx leadership honorary and Tau Beta Phi engineering honor society.

Reyda joined Goldman Sachs as a managing director in 2010 and has oversight for the Investment Management Division's strategic infrastructure.
