Cindy’s gentle spirit and passion for education led her to pursue a career as a Children’s Library Assistant with the Pasco County Library System. For the last 19 years she dedicated her time and expertise fostering a love of reading and learning in young minds, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of many children in the area. Her commitment to the community will continue to resonate for generations to come.
