My journey into the world of alternative wellness wasn't a straight line — it was a winding path through the complexities of traditional pharmacy and the uncharted territory of plant-based medicine.

 

As a community pharmacist, I was deeply immersed in conventional medicine, witnessing firsthand the consequences of over-prescribing opioids, benzodiazepines, antidepressants, and more. Holistic approaches and patient autonomy were often pushed aside, leaving me frustrated and questioning the very system I was a part of.

​

I vividly remember one day at the pharmacy when a patient asked me if there were any plant-based alternatives to opioids. That simple question sparked something inside me, a curiosity that soon grew into a calling. I realized that I couldn’t continue in a system that disempowered patients and ignored the holistic options that could truly make a difference in their lives. It was then that I decided to dive headfirst into the world of cannabis.

​

Becoming a medical cannabis pharmacist opened my eyes to the incredible healing potential of this plant. I saw lives transformed but also witnessed the gaps in knowledge and the misunderstandings that often led to less-than-ideal outcomes. It became clear to me that there was a desperate need for reliable information — not just for patients, but for healthcare providers too.

​

Driven by a mission to empower through education, I transitioned into a medical science liaison role, where I bridged the gap between research and real-world applications. I supported clinical trials and educated others on the benefits of cannabis, becoming a trusted source of knowledge and an advocate for a more informed, patient-centered approach to healthcare.

​

As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent individual, my passion for education has only grown stronger. Throughout school (and life), I’ve discovered that I often learn differently from my peers. Once I understood this, I began to change the way I educated myself, as well as my patients and staff, tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs and learning styles.

​

But even as I found my path, I faced moments of deep burnout and exhaustion. It was during these times that I turned to mindfulness and spirituality, discovering a path that not only healed me but also became a cornerstone of my professional ethos. By blending ancient healing practices with modern scientific advancements, I found a way to reconnect with myself and my purpose.

​

Today, as a ghostwriter and consultant, I am dedicated to uplifting the alternative wellness industry. I leverage my unique blend of clinical expertise and passion for education to create engaging content — from Conversion Catalyst Email Campaigns and patient handouts to scientific meeting reports and webinars.

 

My goal is simple yet profound: to empower others to take control of their health journey with confidence, armed with knowledge and a holistic understanding of wellness.
