Lilian Yslas
Hi, I'm Lilian! I'm a proud mom to two elementary-aged children, including my daughter, Phebe, who rocks an extra chromosome. Before joining SANDS, I was an elementary school teacher, and these days I also stay busy as a full-time mom and part-time taxi driver to my kids' activities.
I attended my first SANDS Walk in 2018, and it has been an incredible journey ever since. I'm honored to serve as the SANDS Program Coordinator, where I have the privilege of supporting families, creating meaningful programs, and celebrating the amazing individuals in our Down syndrome community. I am passionate about advocacy, connection, and helping families feel supported as they navigate their unique journeys. I’m proud to be part of an organization that embraces, celebrates, and empowers individuals with Down syndrome and those who love them.
