Meet Natha

I am a second-generation Nevadan and a fourth-generation teacher. After earning degrees in English and Education from the University of Nevada, I began my teaching career at Reed High School (my alma mater!). After, I moved on to teach at Vaughn Middle School, and today I continue to teach at North Valleys High School.

As a more than 28-year educator I have seen some serious changes in my profession.   There have been so many changes during these 28 years in how students learn.  With increased dependency on technology, the reliance on testing.  What has not changed: the enthusiasm, excitement and energy generated in my classroom. Our students are bright, inquisitive and curious.  We need to continue to have safe classrooms and schools where students are able to think for themselves, question, analyze and collaborate to prepare for their future.  It is their enthusiasm which gives me hope.

For the past two decades, I have advocated for public education through my leadership positions in the Washoe Education Association, the Nevada State Education Association  and National Education Association, Truckee Meadows Tomorrow  and WCSD Education Alliance.  I have also been active in other community organizations including Northern Nevada International Center.

In 2020 I was first elected to serve the constituents of Assembly District 30.  During this time, I have chaired Natural Resources (2025, Interim 2026), and serving on numerous committees including Ways and Means (2023,2025), Revenue(2021, 2023), Education (2023) Commerce and Labor (2025),  and Government Affairs (2021).
