Who I Am
Sylvia Oliande
I began my career as a beat reporter for the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Daily News and The Signal, honing my storytelling skills to identify and craft news coverage that would resonate with readers.
Following a move to Central Florida, I 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.
Next I 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. My 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.
