Earlier exhibits at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC, Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, New York, and the Fine Arts Gallery at University of Maryland brought good critical response.

Snyder most recently taught at the Maryland Institute College of Art, where she served as an Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Chair of the Photography Department. Prior to teaching at MICA, she taught at Cornell University, Ithaca College, and Syracuse University.
