Cynthia has been a community organizer since 2005, and works with AIM and its sister organizations in Maryland. Her first significant campaign won $29.7 million to build recreation centers in historic African American communities. She was the Lead Organizer at People Acting Together in Howard (PATH), and was the founding organizer for Anne Arundel Connecting Together (ACT). She has worked with talented local leaders on campaigns to create READY, a youth conservation corps, and a campaign to win tens of millions in funding for low-income seniors to receive care at home instead of institutionalized nursing home settings, among other campaigns. She is currently working with colleagues and leaders in building our local and statewide work on climate and housing, as well as developing a national network with sister organizations in Wisconsin, Ohio, Massachusetts, Maryland and Washington, D.C. She has also worked on Get Out the Vote Campaigns in North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Before she started organizing, Cynthia was a Wilderness Instructor at Outward Bound. She earned a Master's degree from Harvard’s Graduate School in Education, and her B.A. at Carleton College. She lives in Maryland with her husband and two children.
