For her reporting and anchoring, Sylvia has been honored seven times with the Emmy Award for Excellence, including an Emmy for live coverage of the North Hollywood Shootout. In 2000, Sylvia won an Emmy for best serious news story for a series of reports on patients waiting for organ transplants. And while she co-anchored the KCAL9 News at Noon, that broadcast was honored with an Emmy for Best Daytime Broadcast.
In addition, Sylvia has won numerous other journalism and civic awards, including the prestigious "Imagen" award from the NCCJ for a series of reports which she researched and produced on the critical issues facing Mexican Americans.
Sylvia joined KCAL 9 in 1992 as co-anchor of the Weekend Report.
Like her father before her, Sylvia graduated from the University of Southern California, and was attending USC football games before most kids her age could ride a bike. She's also a Los Angeles native, has worked in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as well as KCBS and KCOP in Los Angeles, before joining KCAL9.
