Summary

The past 8 years of my life have been dedicated to cannabis. It is my true passion. I have worked with it and around it since I was 20 doing non-medicated work for a local cannabis company. I have developed several ideas for the companies I have worked for that they have implemented and still use to this day. I have shown the ability to consistently source connections and with my knowledge and combined people skills I’ve built relationships with several people in the industry. I also work with brands such as "Legends Canna " and "Budbros AZ" at all cannabis related events to help promote a good name for brands and spread knowledge! I’m constantly up to date with new products and new technology regarding cannabis consumption and production. I went from starting as a budtender 5 years ago to working my way up to the knowledge I have today. At 22 years old, I was promoted to management at my first cannabis job. At the age of 23, I started my next management position at Arizona Cannabis Society. At the age of 24, I was managing and establishing relationships for the largest luxury smoke shop in Arizona. By the age of 27, I accomplished my goal in the cannabis industry and a state-of-the-art solventless extraction lab for the company I worked for. My hard work shows! I am extremely passionate about what I do and hope to expand my horizons and join the MO cannabis scene.
