About Us

Cindy has worked in nonprofit organizations and higher education for more than 20 years, serving in various capacities, including program management, fundraising, research and evaluation, marketing and communications, and adjunct teaching. She is active in the recovery community in central Iowa, and she is passionate about assisting those who are new to sobriety and connecting them to local recovery resources. Her role as executive director of Full Circle Recovery Community Center involves strategic planning, implementing evidence-based practices, and providing oversight to the organization’s locations in Council Bluffs and Des Moines.

“As a woman in recovery, as well as a friend, ally, and family member of loved ones in recovery, I am excited that Full Circle RCC was established to offer multiple pathways of recovery. Recovery is not a one-size-fits-all journey. This organization exists to empower people to embrace their full potential through a variety of peer-based services, with multiple opportunities for growth, leadership, and self-directed recovery. My hope is that we can end the stigma surrounding substance use disorders and that recovery is embraced by communities across the state and beyond.”
