ABOUT ME
I have over two decades of experience as a consultant in the private and public sectors. After serving on numerous directorial boards and being elected to the Washoe County School District Board of Trustees, I have been nationally recognized as an authority on school district-community collaboration and safety.
My experience includes spearheading several high-impact initiatives, ranging from leadership strategies to grant implementation, acting as a facilitator and championing equity as a priority for the US Attorney General’s Office Weed and Seed Program, Reno Police Department, Nevada Department of Education, & the Gang Alternatives Partnership.
PAST EXPERIENCE
I thrive as a connector for underserved populations and top-tier professionals. With a Bachelors in Social Work from the University of Nevada, Reno and Advanced Standing Master’s Studies, I have a deep understanding of human social interactions and a drive to serve. For every endeavor, I live by the motto “Connecting communities, creating change.”
