Silvia Montoya
Silvia Montoya converted the sophisticated marketing and traveling world into a SAHM new adventure. She now also manages a family business from home. Silvia was born in Chihuahua, Mexico and lived in Juarez almost her whole life. She is new to El Paso. In 2015, she married Ever Saenz, and they have 2 little girls Emma (2018) and Emilia (2021). Her passions are traveling, event planning, and spending time with family and friends. When possible, she practices yoga and barre. Her hope is that in joining El Paso Mom, she can highlight the bicultural city we live in. Follow Silvia on Instagram here.
