Cindy has many fond memories that span her 32 years in the District. She really loved all of the college students that worked with her during the summers. It was always an adventure teaching them how to drive the forklift! In retirement, Cindy looks forward to exercising and paddle boarding. She is especially excited about the freedom retirement brings!
