Sindy’s first encounter with the Newton Food Pantry was as a volunteer with Newton Neighbors Helping Neighbors, delivering food to Newton Food Pantry clients on Wednesday afternoons during the height of the pandemic . She was so impressed with the pantry’s well-organized COVID-19 distribution process that she became a Wednesday morning volunteer at the pantry. In January 2021 she joined the Newton Food Pantry leadership team to launch the Newton Community freedge. She was honored to become a member of the Board later that year.

Sindy brings more than 25 years of experience as an avid nonprofit leader and fundraiser to the Newton Food Pantry. She has managed and served on nonprofit boards and was the Executive Director of an interfaith youth social justice organization. She is passionate about building organizations through mission-driven strategic planning, constituent engagement, and operational improvement.

Sindy is the parent of two young adult sons and lives in Newton Highlands with husband and her loveable Tibetan terrier named Nick.
