Coach Sylvia combines elite volleyball experience with a lifelong passion for youth development and wellness. Growing up in Canada, she played basketball, soccer, and volleyball competitively before volleyball won her heart. She went on to play at the University of Western Ontario, earning a degree in Nutrition and Human Ecology, followed by a postgraduate internship at the University Health Network in Toronto.

Now the Director of Vibe Orinda and head coach of the 15’s Elite team, Coach Sylvia has been part of the Vibe coaching staff since 2021 and brings over a decade of experience coaching athletes of all ages. Her background as a Registered Dietitian and Girls Life Coach shapes her holistic approach— integrating skill development, conditioning, nutrition, and mental readiness to help athletes perform their best.

Coach Sylvia’s ultimate goal is to inspire a deep love for the sport, knowing that when athletes enjoy the process, their performance—and personal growth—soars.
