Cynthia Nixon

Cynthia has wanted to be a teacher for as long as she can remember.  She attended Point Loma Nazarene University to earn her degree.  While she was there, she had the opportunity to work in the Information Technology department as a Student Computer Technician.  Her love of technology was born during those years and she was committed to taking her love of technology into the classroom.  Cynthia was hired at Santa Fe Christian Schools shortly after earning her credential.  She taught a year of 5th grade followed by 8 years of 3rd grade.  During her time in the classroom, she led the charge for technology integration and helped to pilot a 1:1 Chromebook program.  She spent 4 years serving her school as an Ed Tech Coach and enjoys empowering other teachers to integrate technology.  In 2019, she returned to the classroom to teach 5th grade for five years and is now serving her school as the Elementary Mathematics Coach.  She is a Google for Education Certified Trainer and Innovator and has served as CUE Rock Star Faculty. 

In addition to being an educator, Cynthia is Mom to two sweet boys.  She enjoys reading, watching baseball, card making, and crocheting.  Her newest hobby is analog sketching.  Cynthia has never considered herself an artistic person, but she caught the sketchnote bug and leaned into her growth mindset back in 2015.  She has been a digital sketchnoter for several years now, is the creator of #SketchCUE, and a member of #Sketch50.  Fun fact - she can also solve a Rubik's cube.
