Cynthia Ruiz

Cynthia grew up on the southwest side of Chicago just blocks away from AGC. She graduated from DePaul University with a Bachelors in Early Childhood Education. From there she went on to teach elementary in the Gage Park neighborhood. Cynthia has also taught meditation, mindfulness, and yoga to high school students on the West Side of Chicago. It was then that she found a new appreciation for wellness and all aspects of health including physical, mental, and social emotional well-being. Cynthia strives to live a balanced, value-aligned life. In her free time, she enjoys gathering with friends and family for game nights, yoga classes, nature hikes, and lots of travel. She enjoys baking, painting, and thrifting. Cynthia lives with her partner, daughter, stepchildren, and their two pets. She is grateful to be a part of the growing AGC community.
