Born to a military family, I spent most of my childhood moving from one Air Force base to another. During a high school research project, I discovered my fascination with cannabis. I spent the night learning about the potential medicinal benefits and cultivation techniques. This began a lifelong passion for cannabis and the industry surrounding it.

Spring of 2021, I decided to leave the veterinary medical field where I had worked as a veterinary technician for 10 years. I began a new career at Ascension Biomedical as a cultivation technician, where I continue to learn and expand my cannabis cultivation expertise.

When I am not in the cultivation space, I am out enjoying Ohio’s many natural resources. From fall through early spring, I am chasing steelhead up and down the many lake Erie tributaries. During the warmer months, I enjoy hiking, foraging, and golf or spending time with friends and family.
