Cindy graduated from Georgia Tech in 1990 with a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. She followed that quickly with a master's degree in ME that may or may not have been inspired by the desire to stay at GT for one more football and basketball season. With degrees in hand, she worked in Systems Integration and Instrumentation and Controls and obtained her Professional Engineering License. Seeking ways to balance family and career, she became accomplished at bookkeeping and office management.
As her second child started college, she pivoted her career again and joined the Administration Team of a local private school serving as their Communications Coordinator. That is where we met her as she assisted the principal with several Moeller Purcell construction projects on campus throughout the years. When Cindy mentioned she was seeking an opportunity to return more to her technical roots, we knew she would be a great asset to our team. With her diverse background, Cindy provides support to our project managers, office manager, accounting management, and is responsible for the project accounting centered around Procore.
Cindy and her husband, Nick (GT EE '89), share a love for running and can be found running on the streets in Brookhaven, racing in Atlanta Track Club events, or running the trails at Cochran Shoals. They have three adult children and one crazy dog.
