During her kids’ elementary school years, she joined the school board and orchestrated the school’s annual auction, a major fundraiser.  Cindy progressed in her fundraising role and was hired as Mount Saint Joseph Academy’s Auction Director.  For eight years of coordinating  Mount’s gala, she ran the most successful fundraiser in the school’s history.  In addition, she joined the Mother’s Club at LaSalle College High School, where her son attended, assisting with events.

Cindy is a commissioned notary for the state of Pennsylvania, assisting the funeral home with notary services, and is a lector with St. Matthew’s Church. An avid Philadelphia sports fan, she was on the Philadelphia Eagles’ cheerleading squad for five years and served as co-captain during her final two seasons.

Socially, Cindy is a member of various clubs, including The Union League of Philadelphia, Whitemarsh Valley Country Club, Avalon Yacht Club, The Wissahickon Ski Club, and her neighborhood’s Women’s Club. Cindy spends her summers in Avalon, NJ, and was recently nominated for a board position at the Avalon Yacht Club.
