Taking center court athletically, she began her career internationally playing for the Albanian National Volleyball Team. Her success and impact on the program was immediate and she was quickly recognized for her influence by garnering the attention of the media. In the summer of 2016, Cindy was featured on the famed Floriana Gara’s, “Jo Vetem Mode“ and was catapulted into the lime light.  

Cindy’s dynamic presence and style quickly caught the eye of designers and photographers. Her natural talent and ease behind the camera marked her as a rising fashion icon that was enjoyable to work with. “Modeling is a lot like sports. You have to bring your best and it might not be against an opponent, but in modeling it is a challenge to be great, to focus and to work well with everyone on the shoot. Everything about modeling and fashion is about beauty and making art and I love the collaboration of it and working with people to make a vision come to life.”
