Born and raised in Henderson, NV, when the population was just 7,000, I learned the value of dedication and hard work from my mother, who handwrote water bills for the entire town. She instilled in me the importance of being on time, respectful, and showing worthiness in my job. As Henderson grew to over 310,000 residents, I embraced lifelong learning, believing that each day should bring new insights, and I ensured my education spanned multiple fields to provide for my family. My career includes notable achievements, such as earning awards at Levi Strauss & Co., and transforming a new corporate salon into a highly successful business with the highest revenue, best organization, and lowest staff turnover. Since 2014, my most fulfilling role has been with Contractor Website Services, where I moved from the backend to engaging directly with customers, helping their businesses thrive and forming meaningful connections. I cherish my large family, including my husband, three children, five stepchildren, and 21 grandchildren, and hope they continue to value learning and pass on wisdom, just as my mother did for me.
