Erin Wilcox
GBYS Parent Guide & ASTra Advocate
I am a Parent Guide and ASTRa Advocate for NV Hands & Voices in northern Nevada. My husband and I have two children. Our son, Kylan, is 14 years old and has typical hearing. Our daughter, Lucie, is 8 years old and is Deaf. She uses hearing aids, ASL, and lip reading. We also have seven pets that are also very much a part of our family. We have two dogs, one cat, a NV desert tortoise, a Russian tortoise, and two baby NV desert tortoises who we are fostering until they are old enough to adopt.
Favorite Quote: I have many favorite quotes, but I have three that I look at every day. These two quotes help me be a better wife, mother, parent guide, and advocate.
“Peace begins with a smile” -Mother Teresa
“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” – Mother Teresa
“Nature always wears the color of the spirit”-Ralph Walde Emerson
Best advice you have been given: Be patient, be quiet, listen, and do what makes you happy every day!
What do you enjoy doing when you're not working: I love to read, fish, kayak, camp, swim and garden. Summer is my favorite season and being outside is the most rejuvenating and relaxing for me. Also, I love to paint. Now do not get me wrong I am not good at it and my kids will not be fighting over my paintings, but it brings me joy.
