Born in the Dominican Republic but raised in New York, Cynthia grew up in a very diverse environment.

She understands the life struggles that many face, having witnessed it in her community, and having endured many family hardships of her own. As an Afro-Latina she is proud of her heritage and strives to instill the same level of pride in others. She values community and feels it is important to educate, up lift, and empower those around her.

Her strong passion for helping others comes as an instinctive nature. It is what motivates her and continues to be the driving force in her career.
