I didn’t get into public service through politics—I got into it by seeing where systems weren’t working for real people.

As a small business owner, I’ve worked directly with homeowners and families trying to navigate systems that can be frustrating and inefficient. As a foster parent—and through years of family involvement serving meals to people experiencing homelessness—I’ve seen firsthand how complex and urgent many of our community’s challenges really are.

I’ve also served for several years on the board of our local chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), working to support individuals and families navigating mental health challenges.

Since taking office, my role has shifted from direct service to working on the systems behind these issues—focusing on housing, coordination, and making sure our response is actually working.

At a certain point, it became clear that it wasn’t enough to just see the problems—I wanted to be part of fixing them.

A Practical Approach to Problem-Solving

I believe local government works best when it focuses on real solutions—not political ideology.

• Expanding housing options while protecting what already exists
• Improving public safety while addressing root causes
• Making government more efficient and accountable

Serving Clark County

Since being elected to the County Council, I’ve focused on fixing what’s not working and delivering practical results.

That includes expanding housing options, improving permitting processes, strengthening coordination across jurisdictions, and responding to the fentanyl and overdose crisis.

It also means helping move real projects forward—like low-income senior housing in Felida that will provide both housing and access to critical services.

There’s still more work to do—but I’m committed to continuing that work and building a stronger, more functional Clark County.
