Describe your career path at Boot Hill Casino & Resort.
I was hired in August 2009 as a Purchasing Manager, a position I held until September 2012, when I was promoted to the Assistant Controller role. After nine years as the Assistant Controller, the opportunity to step into the Controller position opened up. The last three years as Boot Hill Casino & Resort's Controller have been nothing short of amazing.
Why did you decide to work at Boot Hill Casino & Resort?
I saw the Casino being built and was out of work at the time due to a buyout at my previous job. I considered returning to college and was looking into what was available when I spoke to someone who oversaw their hospitality courses. She told me about current openings at the Casino and gave me all the information. Since I had several years of buying experience, it was a positive direction for me to take.

?Share a favorite leadership quote or mantra.

What is your hobby or interest that people might be surprised to learn about?
I love to paint. Painting is very therapeutic. When I paint, I find myself letting go of any worries and enjoying the peace.
?If you could switch roles with any Team Member for a day, which position would it be and why?
Many moons ago, all Directors were required to work on New Year's. We had to help wherever we were most needed, and I remember we had a concert that evening one year. It was so busy at the bar, so Ryan Deutsch and I went back to help John Montoya bartend. It was a lot of fun, but I was a horrible bartender! I haven't lived it down. So, if I could switch roles with anyone, I would like to be a bartender again and redeem myself.
Thanks for bringing fun every day, Cyndy! We're lucky to have had your leadership and guidance through the years!
