Cindy is the New England Co-Director for Clean Water Action where she has worked since 1994. She supervises the Coalition for a Safe and Healthy CT and sits on the steering committee for the Alliance for a Healthy Tomorrow in Massachusetts. She is currently providing organizing assistance to SAFER, a multi-state network of diverse environmental health coalitions pressing for new state and national chemical policies that prevent harm to our health. She also acts as a senior strategist and steering committee member for the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a national effort dedicated to replacing toxic chemicals in personal care products with safer alternatives.

She has coordinated a number of coalitions and community-based efforts to reduce pollution and promote a cleaner, more sustainable economy. Among other clean energy and climate initiatives, she coordinated the Northeast Clean Power Campaign which successfully pressed for clean-up of the region's biggest industrial polluters, the oldest and most polluting coal and oil-fired power plants in New England. She represents Clean Water Action on the Green Justice Coalition which is dedicated to stimulating green jobs creation in growth sectors such as energy efficiency and providing pathways out of poverty in low income communities of color in Massachusetts. Prior to her work at Clean Water, Cindy coordinated the Cree Speaking Tour for Massachusetts Save James Bay and was a Peace Corps volunteer in the Central African Republic. Cindy received her education at the University of Maine and McGill University.
