Cynthia oversees the overall strategic and operational responsibility of the three core areas of the company: Learning, Technology and Business.

Prior to GPA, Cynthia worked for PointClear Solutions, a consulting firm in the healthcare vertical. She was the Director of Operations for the UX practice.

Even though her roles have changed over the years, her love of User Experience stays with her. She applies the core principles of the discipline (HCI) to all aspects of her life. “I can’t turn it off. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t. I breathe it. It has served me well.”

Along with her GPA responsibilities, Cynthia is a wife and mother (daughter and son).
