EngAGE thanks Websites & Social Media Manager Cynthia Friedlob for 17 years of dedicated service to our organization.
Cynthia started working with us in 2007 when Tim Carpenter, founder and retired CEO, invited her to provide original commentaries for Experience Talks, our former public radio show on KPFK-FM Los Angeles. This led to her hosting and producing many of the shows until it left the air in 2019.
Not long after her start on the radio show, she added her current duties to her job description as EngAGE rapidly grew and needed a public presence online.
Prior to working for EngAGE, Cynthia had a long career as a writer/story editor for children’s television. She worked for Hanna-Barbera, Marvel, Warner Bros., Disney, and others on classic shows featuring Scooby-Doo, the Smurfs, the animated world of Fraggle Rock, and more. She also co-wrote feature films, including Class Act, a cult favorite starring Kid ‘n Play.
Cynthia has been an exhibiting fine artist locally and nationally for over 30 years. She works in a variety of media including, most recently, digital art.
She is the author of In Praise of the Smaller Life: a journal of memories and musings, which advocates skipping the bucket list of exotic adventures and savoring the joys of life close to home. The inspiration for it was this blog post on the topic.
Cynthia looks forward to having more time to devote to writing, making art, and appreciating her smaller life. She offers her best wishes to her colleagues at EngAGE.
