Cynthia, the wife of an Army veteran, resides in Torrington, Connecticut, with her husband. Throughout his military career, she accompanied him to each of his duty stations while they raised their two daughters.

A lifelong sewer, Cynthia learned to sew as a child and began quilting in the 1980s. In 2015, she attended her first Quilt of Valor Foundation sew day and has been dedicated to creating Quilts of Valor ever since. She finds great pride and fulfillment in each award presentation, particularly when honoring Vietnam veterans for their service and sacrifice.

Cynthia brings extensive experience and dedication from her leadership roles in numerous nonprofit organizations to her new role. Of all her volunteer endeavors, she considers her work with the Quilt of Valor Foundation the most rewarding.
