Serving Nevda since 1981

I ask only for your support no contributions or hollow endorsements!

I am committed to empowering students through innovative educational strategies. My focus is on providing resources that enhance learning and career readiness in a competitive job market. And I am fighting hard to keep Higher Education affordable for all Nevada students

My Mission

As a proud graduate of UNLV with two master’s degrees in Educational Leadership and Emergency & Crisis Management, I understand both the opportunities and challenges facing Nevada higher education.

My north star is to ensure that every student has access to a high-quality, affordable education that prepares them for success in a rapidly changing world. I believe in strengthening academic programs, supporting faculty and graduate students, expanding workforce readiness, and maintaining safe learning environments across all NSHE campuses.

Nevada’s students deserve leadership that is experienced, accessible, and committed to protecting the long-term future of higher education in our state.
