Summary

I am a hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong organizational skills eager to secure an entry-level in the cannabis industry. I consider myself a cannabis enthusiast; not only for recreational purposes, but I have a vested interest in the medicinal benefit cannabis brings to many of those struggling with finding a better, more homeopathic or natural solution to their needs. With knowledge in a variety of strains of flower, tinctures, edibles and vapes, I have a good understanding of which strains or products that will serve to benefit patients. I’m also fascinated by the potential of all of the lesser-known cannabinoids and the knowledge we have yet to unlock. I truly care about people, and along with a classroom background in medical assisting, and 20+ years as an entertainer, my goal is to work with a company that has forward movement in providing a benefit to the public through the physical and mental healing properties of cannabis. With my other background being in culinary arts and music, I’m looking forward to expanding my already enthusiastic thirst for knowledge in what the cannabis industry has to offer right from the seeds of growth to the expansive opportunities that are beneficial, natural, and healing for the consumer.

If you have any questions regarding my work history and experience, please contact me via phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for your consideration,

Eric S. Weaver
