How long have you been with ACS?
I have been with ACS for over 5 years. I ventured off for 1.5 years to become a Bi-lingual Production Manager within the same industry and returned home after an eye opening experience.
What do you enjoy about your role?
My role as a production manager is honestly a lot of fun and very rewarding. Leading a team, collaborating with all departments while getting to spend time in the garden is by far the best part of my job.
What draws you to medical cannabis?
I am a believer in alternative medicine and encourage everyone I care about to try nature’s flowers prior to pharma. The benefits of cannabis are endless with minimal side effects.
What do you enjoy about your position? Or What is your favorite product to produce?
I enjoy organizing and maintaining safe environments for all our team members and products. Creating a happy, productive work environment for the team is my favorite part.
As a patient, what products do you find helpful? How has cannabis helped you?
I’m a flower girl 
Cannabis has helped with my ADHD. Having been on pharmaceuticals for a short time and recognizing it wasn’t going to work for me, I sought out alternative medicine to calm my brain and help me focus. I have a hard time relaxing at night and struggle with insomnia; cannabis helps me get proper sleep and allows me to wake up re-charged with ZERO side effects.
What is something surprising about cannabis that someone who hasn’t consumed before might not know?
Terpenes found in cannabis are also found in many fruits, veggies and herbs . Apples and cannabis share the terpene Terpinolene, Mangos and cannabis share Myrcene, and Broccoli and cannabis share beta-Caryophyllene just to share a few.
What are your favorite ACS products?
Knowing how clean and safe all the products produced at ACS are makes this hard to answer. Black Raspberry is one of my favorite strains for smoke, topicals are my favorite for work-out recovery and pain relief for my degenerating discs from past injuries and the edibles being scratch made, make for a wonderful treat. Too many to narrow down.
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I love being a mom, going on nature walks, working out, salt life, and helping others.
Anything else you’d like to add? Hopes/dreams for medical cannabis?
I dream of a day that our local government refocuses their attention on safety/testing in this industry and upholds their strict guidelines on testing of products and adds a level transparency that allows the public to know what they are purchasing. I dream of a day that dispensaries are forced to share their remediation practices with the consumers allowing for the public to seek quality products from local dispensaries such as ACS, that do not participate in such practices.
