Cindy also spent nine years working as a children and adult sport coordinator for the city of Norwalk. She managed and supervised many children’s sport programs from development to implementation and did the same for many adult sport programs within the city of Norwalk. With basketball as her first love, she developed the first women’s basketball league in Norwalk and gave many ladies an opportunity to play in an organized league with other women.
Cindy worked for the Los Angeles Lakers and Sparks for six seasons. From 1999-2004, she was the Director of Community Relations for the L.A.

Through that time, she saw the inner workings of high profile arenas, team management, and athlete management on a professional and Olympic level. She has two championship rings and many wonderful memories of impacting the lives of young children and families locally and nationally.
