Sylvia Nock, Program Manager of Courses and Operations
I’m a Midwest native who’s been living in LA for the past couple of years. My little family is me and my husband of almost five years - we love going on walks, trying new restaurants, and spending time with friends. My background is in event management, and I’ve been working in that field for the past eight years. At Vintage I’m detail-oriented and love serving alongside our incredible volunteer teams. I’m always excited about personal development and building systems that help things run really well.
