After a number of years practicing law with private law firms, Cindy worked primarily with non-profit organizations, including approximately fourteen years with the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS). One constant throughout Cindy's educational and professional endeavors has been her love of writing, whether technical or expressive, and the good that can come from a message effectively communicated. Cindy's home is in Appomattox County, Virginia, a place rich in history and beauty, where she and her husband enjoy living in the country with a gang of Jack Russell Terriers who are certain they own the two of them.
