About Me

Cindy began her career as a financial advisor in 2000, after working as a teacher and school administrator for 20 years.  Her experience in education has been a cornerstone for her work as a financial advisor.  Her insight has helped clients navigate through each phase of their financial lives.  Still with a heart of an educator, she aims to help her clients understand their portfolios and decide what investments will suit their future.  She enjoys getting to know her clients’ families and developing multigenerational plans by listening to their needs and examining their goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon.

Cynthia earned a B.A. in Education from Wayne State College and an M.A. in Education from Clarke University. 

Active in the community, Cynthia is a former board member of Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa and Quota International.  She has also served on the school board and finance board for Bishop Heelan Catholic Schools.  She and her husband, Bob, are the proud parents of six children and grandparents of many grandchildren.
