I was honored to represent Assembly District 24 in the Nevada State Assembly from 2014 to November 2018! For a list of the legislation I sponsored or co-sponsored, visit here: (2015 session) (2017 session). In brief, I fought hard for our families by supporting policies that improved public health; protected elders from abuse and neglect; tackled the affordability of higher education; provided new funding tools for parks, trails and outdoor spaces; protected historic cemeteries; enhanced surgical patient safety; and improved childcare quality in Nevada.
I served on three important policy committees during my terms: The Assembly Committee on Education (Vice Chair), the Assembly Committee on Health & Human Services (Vice Chair), and the Assembly Committee on Government Affairs. I am still devoted to making our community the best possible place to live and work, now in new roles. Since serving in the Legislature, I have earned a PhD and am now teaching at UNR and consulting on public policy issues. I also continue to serve on the Washoe County School District's Safe & Healthy Schools Commission and as Vice President (Northern NV) of the Nevada Public Health Association. As a lifetime member and national delegate to the Girl Scouts of the USA, I am thrilled to be on the Board of our local Girl Scout Council now too!
