Principal REDW Wealth Albuquerque

What do you consider to be New Mexico’s strengths and how can our state build upon

these assets? Our beautiful landscape and weather. We have a taste of each season and a variety of terrains throughout the state. We can use this as a recruiting tool for new businesses and people to join our state.

What do you consider to be the weaknesses facing New Mexico and how can we

overcome these challenges? I believe our biggest weakness is in early childhood development. We can overcome this challenge by optimizing our existing resources and increasing awareness/funding to this area. Getting children what they need in development will go far in leading to better circumstances and opportunities. How do you see yourself applying your LNM experiences and education in the future? With a greater awareness of the state’s strengths and weaknesses, I can spread the word and make my decisions with a broader perspective.
