As a girl, Tina Frias worked for her family’s business as a janitor at law and medical offices. Inspired by the degrees she saw hanging on office walls, she was determined to earn her own. With bachelor’s degrees in political science and philosophy and a juris doctor degree, Frias is equipped to hold several dynamic leadership positions in the community.

Frias worked for many years to combat human trafficking while she was the Senior Director of Aviation at Harry Reid International Airport. She implemented a program that educated employees and deployed public awareness campaigns such as displaying human trafficking awareness messages in airport restroom stalls. Frias also pioneered an accessibility app called MagnusMode to help individuals on the autism spectrum receive support and assistance navigating airports.

This year, Frias joined the Southern Nevada Home Builders Association as the organization’s Chief Executive Officer, where she uses her policy expertise to address the diverse needs of the home building industry in Southern Nevada.
