The majority of her career has been working in the ER and with Pediatrics. 12 years ago while working in the ER\, Sylvia pursued training to become a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE).

Prism Project educates the community on the realities of human trafficking and has recently opened the doors of their Safe House program! This program is the first of its kind\, a long-term safe house in MI that provides trauma-informed\, wrap-around restorative services for child survivors of sex trafficking.\nIn her free time\, you will see Sylvia spending time with family. She has been married for 21 years and has 4 boys. She enjoys serving at her church and going on mission trips.\n  \n\nJoin our network! The purpose of MAP’s Freedom Coalition is to bring together experienced community advocates and professionals for a unified and comprehensive approach to addressing human trafficking in Michigan. Our vision is to eradicate human trafficking through collaborative efforts in the areas of demand abatement\, survivor support\, school outreach\, and community awareness and engagement.\nWe meet virtually 4x a year for the sharing of statewide updates\, best practices\, new research and resources\, specialized training\, and more.
