As a Native Nevadan, I have watched the ever-changing landscape of Reno grow from a small town to what it is today. I graduated from Wooster High School and received my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Nevada Reno. I have raised two children, Aidan, a freshman in college, and Aileen, a junior in high school. Aileen and I will be finishing up our last year of being members to the Sierra Nevada Chapter of the National Charity League (NCL). NCL is a charity organization of mothers and daughters that focus on giving back to the community. Through the volunteer work the students learn valuable leadership lessons and life skills.
