I, like many other parents, started my advocacy work the day my first child was born. As my children started school I became involved with their school’s PTA and eventually became a Board Member for Nevada PTA. When my oldest son began showing signs of post-traumatic stress disorder and depression after a traumatic event, I struggled to find a provider that could treat him. That experience changed my life and ultimately inspired a passion for advocating for youth and their families.

To help ensure quality care for kids and families in crisis, I serve as a Parent Representative on the Clark County Children’s Mental Health Consortium , serve as Chair of the Clark Regional Behavioral Health Policy Board and member of multiple other boards, councils and commissions.

I have worked on legislation on multiple issues including traffic safety, education, disability rights and healthcare. And now I am running for State Assembly District 18 because I think it’s time that we elect representatives who will put the people in our community first.
