When Cynthia moved to San Diego in 2021, she began to volunteer at the Street Cafe and Summer/Winter Community Distributions. It became evident that the core values of Think Dignity aligned strongly with Cynthia’s desire to extend compassion to her unsheltered neighbors. Impressed by the programs, advocacy and leadership throughout the TD organization, Cynthia applied to become a board member. After 35 years serving her community as a clinical psychologist, Cynthia is now enjoying retirement. She hopes that her expertise in mental health, communication and the devastating consequences of trauma will enhance the board’s capacity to further their mission in meeting the needs of the homeless with dignity.
Cynthia is currently the Chair of the Programs Committee.
