Cindy is passionate about diabetes and has been involved in several committees and reestablished other networks, such as the Diabetes and Mental health Professionals Network (MHPN) and South Australian Pharmacist Diabetes Educators Network (SAPCN) to enhance the education of diabetes for other health professionals. Cindy has been supporting students undergoing their 1000 credentialing hours. She does this by finding ways to improve their clinical diabetes work experience by connecting with South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) in Adelaide and empowering them to finish their credentialing. She offers professional education to other health care professionals such as general practitioner registrars, nurses and other allied health. Cindy also conducts regular education sessions for the graduate certificate of diabetes education and management students at Flinders university as a guest speaker.
