Deborah brings her extensive Nevada relationships to the Federal Reserve, bridging three former careers as a television journalist, nonprofit executive, and small business owner. She has called southern Nevada home since 1981, working first as a journalist for the local ABC news affiliate before moving on to the Fox affiliate where she launched and hosted a morning show called ‘AM southern Nevada.’ Her early career opened doors to nonprofit leadership roles at United Way of Southern Nevada and the St. Rose Health Foundation, which fueled her passion for volunteerism.
Deborah has served on several boards and advisory committees including the Vegas Chamber Executive Women’s Council, the Women’s Research Institute of Nevada at UNLV, and the Virgin River Coalition. An alumna of the Leadership Las Vegas program, she has helped launch leadership development programs and nonprofits such as the Three Square Food Bank and Nevada Blind Children’s Foundation.
