NCFH Meet our Staff - Sylvia G.

​What is your favorite indoor/outdoor activity? 

• Indoors, I love reading, Bible Study groups (God is the rock on which I stand!), & baking - especially experimenting with new recipes or creating my own versions. Outdoors, I have always liked tennis and the presence of nature - scenic walks are the best!

If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose? 

• I have never thought about this one, but if I did, it would probably be someone like Jane Eyre. We are all on a journey in life and regardless of our beginnings, our current circumstances, or where we are going, we must remain strong and keep moving forward, learning from our past, but not staying there. Never give up!

What is your favorite thing about living in Texas? 

• So many things about the great BIG state of Texas! Most of all, my family lives here. And, I love seeing the Bluebonnets and wildflowers in the Spring, especially along the highways (Thanks, Lady Bird Johnson!). Plus, I have found that it really is a friendly state! The tacos and BBQ are not bad either! ha ha

What is one thing about you that surprises people?

• That I did not know English when I started school.
  

Why do you care about increasing access to care for Ag workers & their families? 

• Because they deserve it as much as anyone else! Our Ag Workers do the hardest job in putting food on our tables, many times at the expense of their own sacrifices, such as their health and distance from their families. No matter where they migrate from or how they got here, they too are human and should be treated with the same respect as everyone else. They do not get enough positive recognition for all they do.
