What do you love most about working in the Cannabis Industry?
I love the sense of community and deep connection that each of us has through the power of the plant

​

Who has been the biggest influence on your career?
Dan Nelson and Forest Palmer, without a doubt. I had the honor of working with them at KC Cannabis. They not only helped shape me to be the professional I am now but led with an incredible amount of kindness and empathy that’s rare to find. I take those teachings with me in everything I do.
