She coordinated the process for a number of businesses to receive their state and local licenses in Colorado’s first effort to convert unregulated cannabis businesses. She has worked extensively in state and local government administration, developing specialized knowledge necessary for developing policies and procedures in highly regulated environments. This experience allowed her to gain an understanding and deep appreciation for the challenges that come with managing complex application processes and operating a cannabis business in newly regulated spaces.
