Incumbency: Candidate for office

Education: I attended Mount Saint Mary's College, UCLA and extensive seminars/workshops related to banking, management, urban development, finance, diversity training, community organization, leadership training, small business development and urban renewal.

Honors: I am a past Governor of Soroptimist International, a past President of Olive Crest Abused Children's Shelter, a Lector at St. Gall Catholic Church, and I have worked with non-profit organizations to help eliminate drugs and gangs in schools. I was recognized with these awards: Woman Power PAC Woman of the Year, Girl Scouts of America Leadership Award, Olive Crest Abused Children Shelters Service and Leadership Award, Commendation LA's Best After School Program, and the Mentor Network Award for Business Development.

Platform: I am the best candidate because I will be a guardian of the public's best interest. My constituents will be my only "special interest group". I will put the people's best interest above partisan politics. I pledge to serve while adhering to the highest ethical standards. I am a supporter of businesses and jobs. I am fiscally responsible and oppose any new taxes. I am for reasonable, smart, planned growth. In these divisive political times, I am a moderate who can find the middle ground and bring people together to achieve real solutions for Nevada. Throughout my professional life while I was working and busy raising our family, I made the time to be active in community affairs. From an early age my grandmother inspired and encouraged me to work to make a positive difference in this world. Now that I'm retired, I have the time and energy to be a public servant. I will work diligently on behalf of the residents of the Carson Valley, Incline, Lake Tahoe and Topaz areas, be responsive to my constituents, put the public good above partisan politics and work cooperatively with fellow legislators to develop solutions to the real problems facing our state. I need your support and ask for your vote to serve as your state assemblywoman.
