I am humbled, honored, and excited to announce that my colleagues have again elected me president of the board, and that my colleagues statewide have voted me New School Board Member of the Year by the Nevada Association of School Boards. I put my heart and soul into this work for our schools, and I am grateful for their appreciation and endorsement of my efforts.
This coming year holds challenges and opportunities for our public schools. My promise to the community is to be thoughtful, forthcoming, and inclusive as we move through a time of transition. I’m proud of the improvements we’ve made, and look forward to building on those.
Doing the job of board president means I will have more need of community support for my campaign. If you can make a contribution or sign up to volunteer, those links are in the comments. Thank you for helping me continue to support our schools.

Being named the 2026 Champion for Change is a full circle moment for me. 39% of NV women will experience partner violence, and I was one of them in an earlier era of my life. Since then, I’ve helped change laws that improve protection and privacy for those facing domestic violence. Thank you for this incredible honor, Nevada Coalition to END Domestic and Sexual Violence, and to the Domestic Violence Resource Center - formerly CAAW for all you’ve done in my life. 💜 ...
