Born in Ely, Nevada of immigrant parents, but raised in Las Vegas, Kathy Sisolak is the 2nd First Lady to hold a professional career, as well performing her official state duties. Becoming First Lady of Nevada was something she never dreamed of. She was busy pursuing a career when she met County Commissioner, Steve Sisolak at a gym they both frequented and they married shortly before he took the oath as Governor in 2018. As co-owner of a financial Consultant business, she believes that learning financial literacy helps young people gain financial independence in life. She has chosen that subject as her First Lady official platform.
