Cindy Rohrbaugh is happily married to her husband, Chad, and they have two beautiful children. Her youngest is an Odyssey scholar. Cindy wishes to be a part of the growth in education and prosperity offered to her child at Odyssey. She has taught dance to children of all ages since she was a teen herself and enjoys working with youth. In her free time, she makes custom wire-wrapped jewelry and spends quality time with family.

Cindy is also involved in praise and worship ministries. She believes in serving her community and will continue to contribute her time to valuable causes.
