Director, Retirement, Advocate Health
Cindy knows financial health impacts our overall wellness. She believes that taking small steps to balance how we spend, save, borrow, and plan helps reduce stress now and leads to security in the future.
Having worked in employee benefits and financial services for more than 20 years, Cindy has seen that because we don’t learn personal finance in school, most of us are struggling with the same money issues. She uses the lessons of behavioral finance to help individuals recognize negative patterns and make long-lasting change. Her goal is for all teammates to be able to live according to their choices rather than their obligations.
Cindy is a 20-year veteran of the employee benefits and financial services industries specializing in participant education. Her passion is designing impactful employee education programs and promoting financial wellness. Cindy graduated from Auburn University with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. She holds the Certified Employee Benefits Specialist, Certified Plan Sponsor Professional, and Project Management Professional designations, is Corporate Trainer Certified, a Certified Financial Education Instructor, and has a certification in Human Resources Management.
