Within the program, Dr. Kamyar works as a psychiatrist.

The committee was formed in 2021 and is responsible for establishing a statewide plan to ensure the funds coming from the opioid litigation areas allocated to support Nevada communities. Quinnie was appointed to the Committee because she represents a non-profit, community-oriented organization that specializes in peer-led covert from substance abuse disorder.
