About the Speaker

I’ve dedicated my career to helping others, starting with teaching disabled adults to live independently and later moving into sales and marketing for home healthcare for seniors. After taking time off to raise my three kids and volunteer in my community, I discovered a passion for educating seniors about medical cannabis. This passion grew during my mother’s battle with chronic nerve pain from MS and her struggles with opioid over medication. I guided her off opioids and onto medical cannabis, significantly reducing her pain and eliminating emergency room visits.

I recognized that many seniors face challenges in navigating medical cannabis, often feeling overwhelmed in dispensaries without adequate support. It became clear that patients need advocates to create care plans, explain products and dosages, and assist in safely transitioning to medical cannabis. I’ve spent the last nine years studying medical cannabis, conducting research, consulting experts, and visiting dispensaries. I also completed a medical cannabis healthcare certification program from Green Flower, facilitated by the University of Arizona.
