Cindy Barnes

Having grown up and lived in Monroe, Louisiana for the majority of her life, Cindy Wolff Barnes is excited to embark into new but familiar territory as the Corporate Support Representative for KEDM Public Radio and KXUL Student Radio. Her extensive background in development, fund-raising, public relations, and sales provides her with the ability to effectively build relationships with businesses in northeast Louisiana, southeast Arkansas, and beyond.

Cindy earned a BA in Communications from The University of Alabama, minoring in both advertising and graphic design. Her work experience includes advertising agency, hospital marketing, private school development, economic development, community non-profit development, public relations, laboratory sales and owning her own business.

She is married to Jerry Barnes and has 4 children, Mary Elizabeth, Anna Kate, Briley (son-in-law, Brian ) and Britton (daughter-in-law, Jennifer). She also has 4 grandchildren: Luke, Juliet, Jillian and Georgia. She loves that her grands affectionately call her “Happy.” It would not be complete without adding her little maltipoo, Elvis.

In her spare time she enjoys spending time with family which includes her 3 older sisters, Susan, Linda, and Marcia and their families. Also, she enjoys keeping in touch with her Neville Tiger Family. Her father, the late Dr. James R. Wolff, and mother continue to inspire her daily.

Her husband, Jerry is an Alumna from the University of Louisiana Monroe (then NLU) and she claims the familiar slogan, The Best is on the Bayou!  She is proud to be part of the friendly KEDM and ULM families.
