Cindy has dedicated her life to supporting students, families, and schools across Michigan.  Her long history of service includes working as a parent liaison for the School of Education at Michigan State University, serving as Regional Vice President for the Michigan PTA, and volunteering with the Boy Scouts of America.

These experiences have shaped her perspective and strengthened her commitment to public education, guiding her work in her current role on the school board. Cindy brings a collaborative spirit, a deep understanding of family and community needs, and a passion for helping schools thrive.

Outside of her service, Cindy loves camping, exploring the outdoors, kayaking, and spending time with her family—activities that keep her grounded and remind her why strong schools and strong communities matter.
