ABOUT ME MY PLEDGE I pilot my life and business with these missions in mind and heart:
These are the touchstones that keep me aligned with my core values. A LITTLE ABOUT CINDY Born in Kansas and raised in Michigan, Cindy is the oldest sister of two and has parents who live between Michigan and Florida. She's always found herself in creative endeavors, from acting in local and regional theatre, to captivating childhood friends with long-winded stories, to writing everything from short stories to novels and screenplays. She won her first writing competition at the age of ten, with the story, "Jen-Gin", about a two girls who lived on opposite sides of their mirror. Cindy has over 20 years experience in advertising, sales and marketing including middle and upper management, where she went from a junior sales account executive in radio and rose to become Vice President, Sales Manager for Blair Television in Los Angeles - an international media rep firm. During her career she's been responsible for selling and managing millions of dollars in media spending for clients such as Ford, GM, Nestle, Disney, Sony and more. She brings vast knowledge in demonstrating & cultivating outstanding presentation skills: communication excellence, effective public speaking, and own-the-room sensibility, which means drawing attention the moment you walk in the room and delivering a "pin drop" performance. Cindy attributes much of her success to a communication and leadership method that she has developed over the years. She is also a professionally trained actress and has studied at length with artistic giants in the performance field. She continues to be active in the film and theatre community throughout the Los Angeles area, most notably with West Coast Ensemble. A natural born performer, she is an expert at owning a room and considers coaching others to attain their personal best to be a life-long passion, "We all have the "IT" factor inside of us, waiting for permission to come out and shine." She's on the Board of Directors for American Women in Radio and Television, Art & Soul Center of Los Angeles, and was founder and president of The POWDER Network (Power of Women Developing Entertainment Resources), a professional networking organization for women in entertainment that was active in LA for 5 years. Cindy enjoys traveling, SCUBA diving, golf, hiking, movies, reading, dining with friends and generally exploring. OTHER POINTS OF INTEREST A former Miss Indiana, Cindy was a national finalist in the Miss America Pageant. Cindy sang the national anthem on the 20-yard line at the opening of the Indianapolis Colts Hoosier Dome and forgot the words on national television as the entire team ran out of the locker room onto the field. A huge movie buff, some of Cindy's favs are: Breakfast at Tiffany's, To Catch a Thief, Wizard of Oz, Rear Window and the original Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. Early role models were Nancy Drew, Mary Tyler Moore (as Mary Richards), Barbra Streisand, Diane Sawyer, Mark Twain and Betty Buckley. She once crash-landed a hot air balloon in the middle of a race, much to the chagrin of the farmer whose crops were smashed to a pulp. |
