Hobbies

Sirina has a passion for volunteering and has contributed to various causes, such as organizing teacher appreciation gifts, assisting with field trips, and supporting school programs at her children's preschool. She also volunteered at Texas Children's Hospital from 2017 until she became a permanent staff member in April 2024, taking on roles in different departments. Currently, she volunteers as a PTO member at her children's elementary school, participating in field day and teacher appreciation events.

Sirina enjoys organizing events and spaces, which led to a 60% reduction in retrieval time of items at Texas Children's Hospital, West Campus patient toy storage. She loves reading both fiction and nonfiction, especially with her children, fostering their love for reading.

Sirina also stays informed on healthy living and personal development, recently learning of the digestive benefits of cumin seed tea and also researching ways to foster team spirit; concluding that allowing team members to first (depending on the issue) deliberate and problem-solve amongst themselves before escalating to the next level aids in building strong teams.
