I started working on machines at the age of thirteen. My mother and father owned Cynthia's Sewing Center. I worked summers for the store and would repair machines at the High Schools before I was even in High School. I began working full time in 2000 and became Authorized to Service Machines for Brother, Baby Lock, Janome, and Handi Quiilter. I worked on all the machines at Cynthia's Sewing Center and Built a great reputation.
