Cindy Marie Jenkins

Cindy writes, consults, parents, and travels — sometimes at the same time. Her family recently spent two years in Beijing, where she served as Deputy Managing Editor of Jingkids International, formerly Beijingkids. While there, she mentored teen writing interns, moderated a panel at their JISE (Jingkids International School Expo), and was Acting Editor for the Jingkids School Choice Guide, carefully communicating with over 60 international schools. Hailing from Massachusetts and New York before moving to California, education and mentoring teenagers has always called to her.
Cindy especially enjoys doing mock interviews with her students! She is known for her workshops in arts marketing and personal branding. In the past, she has been a content marketing expert and ghostwriter for international corporations, as well as managing websites and blogs for many entrepreneurial businesses and nonprofits. Cindy is a published essayist, and short story author. A proud member of the Author’s Guild and the Nonfiction Writers Association, she’s thrilled to be an ESC counselor! Cindy puts all of her background towards helping students discover their best selves within their college applications.
