Cindi is a perfect example of an employee who has come up though the ranks. She started with Biosystems in 1987 as a receptionist. Cindi took advantage of the company's tuition reimbursement plan to receive her degree in Accounting (maintaining a 3.85 GPA while working full time) and moved to positions as bookeeper, assistant controller, and finally Chief Financial Officer. Besides making sure that the debits equal the credits, Cindi is responsible for the company's Personnel Department. Cindi's cash management skills and her lean and mean Accounting Department have been keys to the company's continued growth. Cindi's personal interests include auto racing, cooking, and a competitive game of poker.
