- Maintaining the infrastructure of our city is crucial for the smooth functioning of daily life. I will work with our City's experts to craft a long-term road plan based on sustainable funding mechanisms. I am committed to investing in the necessary resources to keep our roads in top shape. Additionally I plan to create a corps of volunteers to augment our existing road services. This will provide workforce training opportunities for our citizens and get the roads fixed faster!
- My Affordable Housing plan is designed to address the housing needs of Carson City residents in an equitable and sustainable manner. We will provide safe and affordable housing options for all, ensuring that everyone has a place to call home. By implementing effective housing policies, we strive to create a stronger and more inclusive community.

My economic development plan aims to attract new businesses, create job opportunities, and support local entrepreneurs.

After graduating from the University of Nevada, Reno with an undergraduate degree in Political Science in 2014, I returned to North Las Vegas to care for my grandparents, who raised me. During this time, I built a successful career in the renewable energy industry, working for leading companies such as SolarCity, Sunrun, Tesla, Det Norske Veritas, and NV Energy.
Together, we will preserve our rural heritage while fostering growth that benefits everyone in Carson City.
