A lifelong Alaskan, Cynthia was raised in Alaska after her dad’s military service brought them to the state at a young age. She graduated from Chugiak High School and its Spanish Immersion Program. Her deep ties to Alaska and experience working throughout the state have given her a particular appreciation for the unique challenges faced by Alaskans and Alaska communities.

Outside of the office, Cynthia enjoys exploring Alaska and traveling, hiking, and playing roller derby with the Denali Destroyers. She is also the proud dog mom of two rescue dogs, Kenzo and Jitsu.
