Cindy attended Central Michigan University where she received both her undergraduate and graduate degrees in education.

Her teaching career spanned over four successful decades of teaching every high school English class, from remedial reading to American literature, to journalism to advanced placement English.

She is writing a book she says will likely never be completed!

Cindy moved permanently to Fountain Hills in 2004. She and her late husband Bob both found teaching jobs at Fountain Hills High School, where she taught until retiring in 2016. Much of her life has been spent in leadership roles, whether in school, college, HOA, journalism organizations, Democratic groups, teachers’ unions, civic groups and more.

A founding board member of the Fountain Hills Democratic Club, she also volunteers with the Dark Sky Festival and coordinates the student art contest, painted part of Fearless Kitty’s new home, ushers at Fountain Hills Theater and is always a part of Make a Difference Day. She is a Maricopa County registrar, volunteers at citizenship ceremonies and is a precinct committee person, working hard to get citizens registered to vote, to provide information about candidates and issues and, ultimately, to get out the vote.
