About Me
I am a 4th generation Northern Nevadan, growing up in Sparks and going to school k-12 in District 3. The first to graduate college in my family of blue collar, hardworking people. My mom was a truck driver and my dad a grease monkey in the local unions. I graduated from UNR with a degree in Social Work, worked in that field as both a Worker and Supervisor off and on for 10 years. I’ve managed our family’s small business for nearly 19 years and understand the difficulties and poor statistics of small business owners, the difficulty of unnecessary and burdensome regulations, and also the importance of small business owners and families. I’ve worked in the non-profit sector as a Director and Volunteer and been a board member on non-profit Boards. I’ve been a Realtor in the area for 7 years working only with families and primary buyers. Homeownership is a main component of stability and upward financial mobility for families.
I am a wife, mom, sister, daughter and community member who cares deeply about the residents and our neighbors, and the impact that the current policy decisions is having on us.
Why I'm Running
How did I get to the position of wanting to run for Washoe County Commissioner? I was just grinding along, probably a little like you. Kids, school, sports, taxes, running a business, taking care of clients, gardens, my volunteer projects, HOA, trying to keep some balance in life like the rest of us.
I had an issue with the county and was surprised, couldn’t get information and realized that our community had gone a direction that was currently and would continue to be divided and have policies that hurt us unless we had more people get involved.
But we can make it better when we work together. We can steer it back around.
