I’m responsible for driving revenue, expanding market share, and building lasting relationships with dispensaries across the state. Working in a small, entrepreneurial company like Bailey’s Buds means I’ve taken on a wide range of responsibilities beyond my title, juggling sales, strategy, operations, and brand development to help drive growth at every level.

I also work closely with our cultivation and packaging teams to coordinate the successful execution of orders. My focus is not only on closing deals, but on maintaining relationships and creating strategic partnerships that elevate our brand and add value to our retail partners.
