She attended the University of La Verne and, shortly after graduating, married and started a family. Tragically, she lost her first-born son shortly after his birth but went on to have two daughters by the time she was 25. Initially a stay-at-home mom, Cynthia began blogging in 2011, becoming part of the early wave of social media influencers. However, following the end of her marriage in 2018, she transitioned to a traditional 9-to-5 job to support her family as a single mother. This transition led her to San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity.San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity, where Cynthia currently works, has been serving the community for 34 years.
