Cindy Parker -Community Engagement Coordinator

Bringing over a decade of dedication to community service, youth advocacy, and local advocacy. A lifelong champion for giving back, Cindy has spent over 12 years as a full-time substitute teacher—fostering a passion for working with children of all ages and abilities—and brings 8 years of administrative leadership as an Executive Assistant and current Office
Administrator at Mega Electrical. Her heart for service is mirrored in her deep roots in Asheboro, where she has raised thousands of dollars for vital local causes including Relay for Life, The Human Race, Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen, and Lydia’s Place. She also recently expanded her advocacy work by becoming an approved volunteer Guardian ad Litem.

Cindy’s connection to Spirit Horse Ranch began as a guest at the annual Wild West Party in 2023, where she fell in love with the healing power and emotional support the horses offer the community. As a widow, an empty nester, and a senior at the University of North Carolina Greensboro completing her degree in Liberal Interdisciplinary Studies of Humanities, her journey to personal strength inspires everything she does. Answering the call when Board President Larkin Tufo sought a Volunteer Fundraiser Coordinator, Cindy steps into this role with a vision to help Spirit Horse Ranch become a nationally recognized center for Equine-Assisted Activities.

“Giving back is one way we can all share a little piece of happiness and joy in this great big world,” she shares—and she is excited to bring that energy to the Ranch family.
