Summary
In short, I finished grade 12 early to dedicate my life and passion to cannabis studies. A serious dedication that started when i rooted myself in the soil and never looked back . In just a few years I have developed incredible diagnostic + relationship building skills . I plan to further my understanding of the industry by taking it to the next level and working alongside a division that has seen cannabis sales /progression in all realms / facets of the industry as we get closer to federal legalization .
