What do you love most about working in the Cannabis Industry?

 

I love working in the industry because I am able to create awareness about the medicinal benefits of cannabis. Reducing the stigma of this plant is my passion to promote health and wellness through the power of cannabis.

Who has been the biggest influence on your career?

 

The biggest influence on my career was a leader from CVS health that trusted me with my first management position in 2014. He encouraged me, helped me to believe in myself, and provided me a safe place to grow. I was developed as a leader, and he opened career doors for me in the pharmaceutical industry that recently led to a smooth transition to the cannabis industry in 2019. If he wouldn't had seen the potential in me, I would not be where I am today in my career. He showed me the importance of developing high performing teams and gave me the vision to see the potential in others to give them the chance that was once given to me.
