Cynthia Cuprill – Comas

She/Her/Ella | Veteran Educator & Founder and Lead Strategist @ Pivot and Leap
Company: Management Consultant, Coach, Entrepreneur, Speaker
Moved Here from: Los Angeles on September 2025
Why did you move here?

My sister, Alice Cuprill-Comas, and her family live here and another sister resides in Poulsbo, WA. September 2024, we decided to bring Mom from Florida to Portland so we 3 sisters could care for her. I retired from public school service in California and became my mother's guardian and full time caregiver (Sept 2024 - Sept 2025). I am seeking opportunities to serve in Portland and remain in residence near my extended family. Throughout the past 30+ years that my sister has lived in Portland, I've visited often. I love the vibe of the people, the beauty of the city, and the lifestyle. I've always felt welcome when I visit and this past year I've made many helpful and like-minded friends here.

What is one thing that you need/want from a community right now?

I have effectively guided and supported multi-million dollar organizations and thousands of individuals to achieve their goals. I seek opportunities to leverage 25+ years of experience and skills gained in public service to guide and support individuals and organizations to realize their vision.

What kind of civic connection are you interested in making?

I am interested in connections that would lead to opportunities to serve as a management consultant and coach as well as serving on boards, speaking engagements, mentoring, or supporting at community events.
