About Cynthia
As in-house General Counsel, Cynthia handles intellectual property and various other legal matters for iFixit, "a small company with a big goal: we want to show the world how to fix everything." She is active in her local community, serving as a Director on the Oceano Community Services District Board and holding a volunteer position as Vice Chair of the Oceano Advisory Council. In her spare time, Cynthia volunteers with the San Luis Obispo chapter of Surfrider, working for the protection and enjoyment of our ocean, waves and beaches. She’s stoked to work for a company that shares her values.
A remodeled bungalow built in 1940 needs a lot of repairs, and Cynthia is constantly fixing things around her house in Oceano. She surfs as often as possible and is learning to sandboard in the Oceano Dunes. Once, she jumped out of a perfectly good airplane operated by a sketchy pilot.
