Since joining LINC in 2016, Silvia has enjoyed demonstrating to families how they can incorporate reading, arts and crafts, songs, and other fun learning opportunities into their daily lives. Initially in The Bronx, and currently in East Harlem, Silvia loves working collaboratively to make a difference, tapping into numerous community stakeholders to ensure LINC’s visibility. She finds joy in seeing strong bonds develop between children and parents/caregivers who are excited about reading and that makes her work extremely rewarding. Silvia is a fan of the children’s book author and illustrator, Richard Scarry and the Nancy Drew Series.
