Sylvia is from Boston, Massachusetts where she lived most of her life before moving “Out West” in 2005 to attend grad school. Two years later, she walked for a Masters degree in violin pedagogy from Boise State University.
Along the long, winding path of her college career, Sylvia lived at 8 different addresses, spent a semester at UM in 2004, worked in the marching band office at BSU, was a student leader with Campus Crusade for Christ at UMass Boston and went twice to Central Europe with the Chi Alpha Big Sky Expeditions team. In August of 2007 she moved to Missoula to begin a new adventure – serving God as Associate Staff with Chi Alpha at UM.
Sylvia is passionate about life in Jesus and Jesus in all aspects of life, and especially loves to help others discover the place God has for them in His family. Other stuff she enjoys: music, violin, photography, scrapbooking, hiking, baking, art, reading, snow days, teaching, and a good cup of mocha.
