Member since 2025

Cindy is a native Washingtonian who grew up appreciating the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. She has always been drawn to the many types of beautiful woodworking displayed at street fairs, farmer’s markets, and art galleries. Her grandfather in Wisconsin was a creative carver and woodworker whose craft she admired. She was also influenced by the native artists in Southeast Alaska during her time there.

Her professional education at Bastyr University in Seattle led to a rewarding career in naturopathic medicine. For 25 years, she worked at HealthPoint, a non-profit organization of community health centers in the Seattle area where she was a naturopathic physician providing primary care to the underserved and refugee populations. She eventually joined the administrative team where she ended her career as the Regional Director of Clinical Care. She has served on the Board of Directors for the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians.

Since retiring she enjoys learning the art of woodworking at the Port Townsend School of Woodworking. The high-quality instruction, welcoming culture, and joy in learning and creating have been inspiring. She is excited to join the Board of Directors to further the valuable contribution the PTSW is providing to the community.
