Cindy's desire for quality engagement puts her at the forefront of the industry. She finds an approach that meets people where they're at and uses her genuine, approachable manner to cut through to what really matters.

Cindy lives and breathes engagement. In the field, she does not rest until everyone's had a say – a skill she honed while working the perfume counter at Myer as a teen.

She is adept in both community and urban development sectors, undertaking social infrastructure planning, engagement, research, analysis and evaluation while delivering programs across a wide range of government and non-government organisations.

Cindy is effective at building understanding and creating a narrative that creates favourable experiences within communities. She enjoys building trust with the community who are then more inclined to give their precious time to participate in projects and process, rather than go outside of the process in frustration.
