Sylvia Oliande

Sylvia began her career as a beat reporter for the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Daily News and The Signal, honing her storytelling skills to identify and craft news coverage that would resonate with readers.

Following a move to Central Florida, she shifted to public relations, rising to media relations director during more than a decade at Experience Kissimmee, a destination marketing agency in Orlando-adjacent Osceola County.

Sylvia then served as public relations manager for Give Kids The World Village, a charity vacation resort devoted to fulfilling the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses. Her social media efforts were instrumental in helping the nonprofit exceed its fundraising goals, while news coverage included People magazine, Good Housekeeping, Reader’s Digest, Parents magazine, and Scary Mommy.
