In the EdTech sphere, everybody know Syl’s sketches! She is the creativity Queen with her fantastic drawings. She inspires so many. From my first encounter with Sylvia, I was touched by her kindness.

Her sketches are a way for her to share powerful ideas, honor great innovators and question the world of education.

In her school, Sylvia is a friendly colleague who coaches others and continues to teach French with passion.
