Cindy attended Brigham Young University, where she received her Family History degree with a focus on North American research. While in school she worked as at the Utah Valley Regional Family History Center. She also did several internships, one at the Utah Valley Regional FHC, one at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, and another for the genealogical researching company, Lineages. After graduation she took the Accreditation Exam and became an Accredited Genealogist in the Northeastern States Region (now the Mid-Atlantic States Region). At that time she returned to upstate New York, where she has lived for the last several years.

Cindy is a Family History Consultant for the local Family History Center. She has also taught continuing education classes on beginning genealogy at the local community college. In addition to working on her own genealogy, she does a limited amount of professional research. Her passion is helping others to gain the skills they need to find their own ancestors. Cindy has just become the editor of the newsletter for the International Commission for the Accreditation of Professional Genealogist (ICAPGen).

Cindy is currently a stay at home mom of two little girls. She spends most of her spare time working on genealogy.

"I am really looking forward to this class. Family Tree Maker is such a versatile program. I really like the easy-to-use interface and the numerous features that are included. You have so many options with which to display your charts, books, and even maps. Also, I have always believed that organization was the key to doing genealogy and Family Tree Maker 11 is great for organizing your work. So come join me in this class and you will be able to learn how to use some of these features. When Family Tree Maker has helped you to create your first family history book, you will be proud to see the 'Wow!' on your family members' faces!!!"
