Together we can shape the future of our community.
In 2016 my company wanted to help a local nonprofit, and we took a tour of the Eddy House. The Eddy House is a small nonprofit who helps our homeless youth population. Inspired by their mission, I knew I wanted to be involved. That year, I was fortunate to be invited onto their board. I was voted into a leadership role first as Secretary, then VP and now I’m in my 2nd term as Board President. This experience is the catalyst for my run!
I’ve seen first hand how bad our homeless issue is, and I’ve seen how poorly our local government is doing in regards to solving it.
In order to make a huge impact and solve this issue, we must have a strategy aimed at prevention and housing, with a strong focus on options for those who live along our river and in our public areas.
We need stronger shelter services, more transitional living options and permanent supportive housing which will serve our disabled, our veterans and elderly. We must also provide more mental health services and substance abuse centers.
Those who live outside of our beautiful valley are taking notice of what an honor it is to live in Reno. They’re making the choice to move their families here, buy a home, start a business and contribute to our culture. This is an opportunity to weave them into the fabric of our community. As a lifelong resident of Reno, I understand where we’ve been, where we are now and where we are going.
I am proud to have built my reputation in my career through service and delivering on promises, and will do the same for you. I pride myself on hard work and compassion, which will guide me in my time on the council.
