Sylvia Soler

I am a waitress at one of Pittsburgh's most popular and iconic restaurant chains.

I shadow and assist Dr. Rowena Pingul-Ravano in patient check-ups. I also participate in open discussion on pregnancy-related topics with both the doctors and patients. With her I have also attended the WPLCA Conference at Magee Women's Hospital in December 2021 and the ALSO Course at UPMC Shadyside in June 2022.

I lead soccer practices for Open Field in English as well as Spanish to kids of all ages in underprivileged areas of Pittsburgh. I have worked in Fall, Spring, and Summer programming at Mooncrest Neighborhood Programs, Arsenal Middle School, and South Hills Interfaith Movement.

Since the pandemic began, I have worked as a delivery driver for Instacart, DoorDash, Postmates, Uber Eats, and Grubhub part time.

I promoted a positive therapeutic environment through clear communication and consistent reinforcement of established boundaries within treatment settings while monitoring and documenting patient progress through regular assessments and documentation, ensuring accurate tracking of treatment effectiveness. I also provided crisis intervention and de-escalation techniques, resulting in increased safety for both patients and staff.

I was a part-time waitress at one of Pittsburgh's most busy and famous diners.

I was privately hired to spend time and watch over elderly individuals who needed assistance during their daily routines. I prepared meals, cleaned, walked the dogs and more, but above all I acted as a companion to help entertain these individuals and brighten their days.

I gave sales presentations to potential customers and sold Cutco cutlery online. I earned the President's Club award for my hard work.

For a few years starting in high school, I did a lot of babysitting, dog-sitting, and house-sitting for various local families that I either had connections with or met on the Nextdoor application.

I worked as an assistant at various sports and academic summer camps at the school I attended, Durham Academy. I also worked as an assistant to the general operations manager of the summer programs.

I was hired privately to train children in soccer. I did lots of drills with them and taught them how to improve their skills in the game.
