Dr. Cindy Lee Neighbors is an advocate, actress, physician, and writer with a passion for storytelling that spans genres. Her work includes the heartwarming children's picture book Benji and Briana Become Booger Doctors, coming in spring 2025, and the deeply personal memoir Too Much, which explores mental health challenges within the demanding fields of military and medicine.

Cindy's artistic journey began in her childhood in Honolulu. She explored her love of performance through acting in commercials, theater, and competing in pageants. She later pursued acting in Los Angeles, earning a degree in theater from the University of Southern California. Her path then took her to military medicine, where she served as a physician in the United States Army. Her research to reduce opioid prescriptions has garnered national recognition through publications, speaking engagements at national conferences, and awards.

Now retired from the army, Cindy is pursuing her lifelong passion of writing. Her diverse background and experiences inform her unique voice and allow her to connect with readers of all ages.

When she's not writing, Cindy enjoys traveling, hiking, and scuba diving. Connect with Cindy on social media @cindyleeneighbors.
