On A Personal Note

Spring, Texas is where Sylvia has chosen to raise her four children. She is mother of a 23-year-old daughter who recently received a bachelor’s degree in Biology from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas and currently pursuing a master’s degree in Marine Biology at the James Cook University in Australia. A 20-year-old son who reported to Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, CA in 2021 and a pair of 13-year-old (fraternal) twins, a boy and a girl, attending Klein ISD who are active in various sports and organizations, including soccer, football, track and run club, to name a few. By way of example, Sylvia strives to instill humility, empathy and integrity in all of her children. In 2016 she participated as an organ donor in a six-way (3 donors and 3 recipients) kidney swap and was instrumental in saving the life of a dear friend and two complete strangers. Her act of selflessness is a testament to the person she is and role-model she continually seeks to be.
