About Me

As a biology graduate with a passion for entrepreneurship, I have cultivated a unique blend of analytical skills and business acumen. My academic background instilled in me a strong sense of determination and a methodical approach to problem-solving, which I carried forward into the business world. This foundation proved invaluable as I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey, founding and operating my own cannabis retail store.

During my time managing the store, I successfully oversaw every aspect of the business. This included coordinating the construction, navigating the complex process of applying for permits with the city of Niagara Falls, and handling all day-to-day operations single-handedly. As the sole proprietor, I developed expertise in financial management, regulatory compliance, and delivering top-quality products, all while drawing on my scientific understanding of the cannabis plant.

My entrepreneurial venture taught me far more than any classroom could. I mastered inventory management, supplier coordination, and exceptional customer service, often devising innovative solutions to unexpected challenges. These experiences honed my ability to adapt and thrive in a dynamic environment, proving that real-world business development, though different from academic rigor, offers profound learning opportunities.

In January 2024, I made the strategic decision to sell my business, a move that underscored the substantial growth and knowledge I had gained. Building my business from the ground up with minimal external assistance was instrumental in my personal and professional development. Now, I am eager to leverage my diverse skill set and experiences to make meaningful contributions to the cannabis industry and beyond. I am driven by a relentless determination to seek new challenges and opportunities for growth, and I look forward to the next exciting chapter in my career.
