While working in the tax department for Coca-Cola Bottling Company in Charlotte she decided she really wanted to work in Lincolnton so Dana called Cindy until she was tired of her calling and gave into an interview –she was hired!

She came to work at SBH in 1987 to answer the phone for only one day as a fill-in and 32 plus years later here she still is. One might not think the Social Work degree works with the accounting profession but as the front desk staff she gets to be the first ear and face everyone sees or gets to bend so she has certainly put her degree to good use as she deals with all types of people every day. She is married to Mike Baker and in their free time they enjoy traveling and going to antique shows.
