Cynthia joined the StoneX Specialty Coffee team in early 2023 and quickly developed a passion for learning every part of the coffee journey from farm to cup.
She graduated from Washington State University with a degree in Strategic Communications: Public Relations and a minor in Business Administration. Her background in marketing began through internships and leadership roles focused on communications, events, and public relations, including work with Washington State University’s International Center and the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA).
After college, Cynthia spent five years as a Marketing Communications Manager for a Seattle office coffee service provider, where she was introduced to the city’s vibrant coffee community and local roasters. Her interest in specialty coffee grew through visits to roasting facilities and hands on involvement developing blends for a new coffee line.
At StoneX Specialty Coffee, Cynthia focuses on communications, social media marketing, website development, and creative storytelling that highlights the people and origins behind specialty coffee. She is passionate about helping connect customers more closely to the coffee supply chain and the stories behind each offering.
Based in Seattle, Cynthia enjoys reading, exploring local coffee shops, Pilates, and spending time with friends and family. Her favorite way to drink coffee is espresso over ice with oat milk.
