Abstract
Cynthia…Attractive, full of energy, a natural leader, quick, questioning, vocal, great sense of humor. Cynthia has a wonderful sense of self. She is blond, slender and in fantastic physical condition. Her energy is sometimes overwhelming. Cynthia is serious about her work and her play, but not overly serious about herself. Her sense of the absurd, humor and dedication to “get it done” makes her a joy to work with.
