Gladys is the proud Mom to two teenage daughters and has strongly encouraged them to actively participate in the STEM programs in both high school and college. She is an active participant in the program herself and has presented to multiple organizations in her local community on the value of science, technology and math in the elementary and high school curriculums, especially for young girls. Its also important to Gladys and her family that they give back to their community whenever possible so she volunteers at Habit for Humanity, the Food Bank for Berks County and the local Animal Shelters.
