Why GiGi’s – Cindy’s Story

My name is Cindy Prassas and I have lived in Draper, UT for 4 years.   I was born and raised in New York and have lived in San Diego, CA, San Francisco, CA and Tucson, AZ.  I have been married for 38 years and am the mother of 3 adult children.  Our middle child Christina has Down syndrome.  Before having children, I worked in banking and as a financial analyst for a defense contractor.  More recently, I had my own Guardianship consulting business until moving to Utah.  I am looking forward to participating in the start-up of GiGi’s Playhouse in Salt Lake City.
