As a passionate advocate for the people of Carson City, I am honored to be running for Mayor to serve our community. With a rich background in renewable energy, a commitment to public service, and a deep love for our city and its residents, I bring a unique blend of experience and dedication to this campaign.

  • 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.
  • Promoting economic growth and development is essential for the prosperity of Carson City. My economic development plan aims to attract new businesses, create job opportunities, and support local entrepreneurs. By fostering a thriving business environment, we can enhance the overall quality of life for our residents.

As your Mayor, I am committed to leveraging my experience in renewable energy and sustainable development to build a more resilient, prosperous, and inclusive Carson City. I believe in the power of innovation, collaboration, and community engagement to address our most pressing challenges, and seize new opportunities for growth and progress.

My journey has been fueled by a passion for technology, and a desire to make a positive impact on the environment. Since the age of 6, I have been fascinated by computers, and by the 6th grade, I was already building them. This early interest in technology laid the foundation for a career focused on innovation and sustainability.

​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.

As your next Mayor, I am committed to transforming Carson City into a thriving, sustainable community. My platform focuses on implementing a long-term road maintenance plan to ensure safe and reliable transportation. I'll introduce affordable housing initiatives with real pathways to ownership, boosting our local economy by increasing tourism and investing in future-focused workforce development. I'll champion sustainable practices to foster economic growth, enhance transparency in government to rebuild trust, and make smart investments in our community's infrastructure.
Together, we will preserve our rural heritage while fostering growth that benefits everyone in Carson City.
