My name is Cynthia Gallardo, committed to fostering positive connections daily, be it in personal, professional, or academic realms. With a background in Biology and Spanish from Millikin University, followed by an MBA from Olivet Nazarene University, I recently graduated with honors in law from Southern University Law Center. Formerly with AT&T for 14 years, I've transitioned to entrepreneurship, co-partnering in El Tigre SD LLC, El Tigre Painting, and Cynergy Alliance, Inc., all grounded in the Golden Rule. Currently residing in Lafayette, LA, with my husband and son, we're deeply engaged in spiritual endeavors and community service, including fostering children and leading Bible studies for the Hispanic community.

Throughout my journey, I've endeavored to blend academic pursuits with meaningful community involvement. As a law student, I not only excelled in legal writing but also played an integral role in reviving the Latinx/Hispanic Law Student Association at SULC, aiming to provide continuous support from pre-law to post-graduation. Alongside my studies, I served as a Student Advisor and received recognition for my contributions to the field. My commitment to fostering positive change extends beyond academia, as evidenced by my active involvement in various businesses and community service initiatives, all rooted in the principle of treating others with respect and empathy.
