A proven leader and mentor with a background in marketing and sales, Cindy spearheaded the development of the Discovery Guide, an effective marketing tool that helped facility professionals understand, create and implement agile learning spaces. The Discovery Guide centered on a research project also directed by Cindy called iLab, which focused on the learning space as an educational tool. The project studied student outcomes, teacher evaluations and anecdotal and ethnographic evidence to understand the agility and adaptability of the iLab space and how it supported teaching and learning. Cindy also formed a partnership with Convergence Academies operating from Center for Digital Arts Partnerships at Columbia College Chicago to provide furniture for Digital Ateliers in two high need, traditionally low-performing Chicago Public Schools. Cindy used the research and key findings from this study to drive more schools to adopt this inspirational learning model. At that time, it was the only study where the outcomes actually showed an improvement in grades and attendance.  Additionally, Cindy built a collection of tools, articles and case studies that supported active learning environments that were being used by schools across the country.

Prior to her current role, Cindy held a variety of sales and channel manager positions at Bretford, NEC Solutions (America), Inc. and Lucent Technologies. She holds a B.S. in Business Administration, Marketing from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, IL, which was earned in three years.
