Bio
Danita Drake
Cindy was an awesome supervisor to work under and I'd work for her again without question! She is collaborative, sharp, personable and knows how to bring out the best in her team. I admired our working relationship and feel grateful that our paths crossed professionally. I hope we get a chance to work together again.

Cindy is blessed with two skills I think are vital to succeeding in any business environment. For one, she has superior communication skills. Be it engaging with coworkers or clients Cindy’s message was always clear, concise, courteous and intelligent. Cindy also possesses great common sense – a trait that allows her to easily grasp and execute a wide range of tasks. I think that is what guides her ability to prioritize and keep her focus on the most important issues at hand. Nearly as important was Cindy’s passion for our mission. Her desire for success for not only her own responsibilities but for the entire PBS Interactive department and PBS as a whole was clearly evident. In addition, Cindy has a great sense of humor that made even the most challenging tasks easier to tackle. She is a rare executive who demands a lot from her staff, but equally gives her all. Cindy brought out the best in all of us.
