In four years working for the State of Nevada, I've helped start the cannabis industry in the state through selection of the initial business license recipients and through helping create the policies that guided the industry's early days. I've helped to nearly quadruple the number of government-funded PreK slots available for underprivileged families in Nevada, helped select and implement the State's Kindergarden Entry Assessment, created data-based programs to chart student progress and classroom performance, and aligned the State's Early Childhood data gathering with the State's Longitudinal Data System. With the completion of the 2017-2018 school year, I've chosen to leave State service for the private sector again. I'm looking for a challenging new position that can leverage my decades of experience managing projects and directing business operations across a spectrum of industries.
