A native San Franciscan, Cyn resides in the Sunset District, where her daughter Sloane attends Jefferson Elementary. A lifelong feminist and member of the LGBTQ community, Cyn is proud to have received the Key to Choice by Planned Parenthood Golden Gate, multiple Meritorious Honor Awards by the U.S. Department of State, and called a “voice of young feminism” by the National Organization for Women. In her youth, Cyn found community and refuge in San Francisco’s queer nightlife scene – and hopes to champion it on the commission.
