This is Cindy!

As a New Jersey native, I strongly desired to explore and immerse myself in different cultures. After working at Goldman Sachs, I decided to follow my passion and travel to Mozambique, Africa, where I had the opportunity to work with young children and learn Portuguese. This experience opened my eyes to the beauty and diversity of our world. 

"I wanted to continue making a difference in the lives of others."

 

"Every child has the potential for greatness through global education and support.”

"Together, we can inspire the next generation and create a brighter future for all."

I am always ready for my next adventure.

I have traveled to 27 countries, serving orphans, widows, local organizations, and schools. My time empowering women in Tanzania was particularly impactful, and I am committed to spreading love and encouragement wherever I go.

"Today, I stay active by hiking and training in Muay Thai." 

Over 10 Years proudly serving 32 states!

My journey started when I was recruited by Goldman Sachs & Co. during my senior year at Princeton University. I excelled in managing specific client accounts and leading departmental initiatives. Pursuing two master's degrees in Theology and Business from Regent University further equipped me with the skills to serve in various roles within the University. I am proud of my achievements and hope to inspire others to pursue their dreams and achieve financial stability.
