Cindy Oliver
Cindy Oliver has dedicated her career to supporting individuals with special needs, a passion that began in her youth through caregiving and volunteering in multiple disabilities classrooms. She earned her Special Education K–12 degree from Bowling Green State University and began working at the Auglaize County Educational Service Center shortly after graduating. Cindy has been with the ESC for over 20 years, teaching junior high, high school, and transition-age students in a variety of settings, including Wapakoneta High School, the Auglaize County ESC, and St. Marys Memorial High School.
Her experience working in adult services has given her a unique perspective on helping students prepare for life after school and successfully transition into adulthood. Cindy finds great joy in staying connected with former students and celebrating their accomplishments, both in the workplace and the community. Outside of the classroom, she enjoys reading, biking, hiking, and spending time with friends over coffee.
