Welcome to my website. As a mother of two children, I am pleased to provide a very special section just for kids, with information about what my office does for the people of Nevada, stuff about preparing for college, and helpful web sites where you learn how to handle money.

            I grew up in a large family with limited income. Life was tough and there were many hurdles in my path. In fact, if not for the help of so many great teachers and other school officials, I may have missed out on the chance to fully benefit from my kindergarten through 12th grade education. One thing I learned during my younger days that I hope you will remember; you can accomplish any goal if you believe and work hard to meet your dreams.

            Please feel free to contact me or my office with any questions about the many programs we administer.

            You may dream about what you want to be when you grow up; what type of job/profession you think would be interesting. Many jobs require a college education. The State Treasurer's Office manages several programs that seek to help parents and students Save for College, One Step at a Time, by opening special savings accounts. You can use our handy College Cost Calculator to see how much it might cost you to go to college.

            Another great way for you and your parents to better plan your future is to visit http://gotocollegenevada.org where you'll find lots of great information about preparing for college, or visit http://savingforcollege.com to learn more about college saving plan.
