About Me: I'm the Cannabis Maven. I have well-versed knowledge of uses, applications and markets for cannabis products from industrial hemp to medical marijuana and recreational marijuana. My professional goals are to "tip" the best products in the cannabis marketplace, foster growth for marijuana infused product companies, and produce cannabis events.

I'm a kitchen consultant for infused product manufacturers. I utilize my manufacturing experience to help infused product business thrive.
I'm a cannabis business developer and I write freelance articles. I establish, maintain and expand my cannabis network and technical knowledge by attending workshops, seminars, trade shows, and events.
I produce cannabis themed events. As a social scientist, I understand and appreciate the nuances of cannabis culture.
I wrote a social etiquette column as the mannerly, Lady Cannabis. Let Lady Cannabis address your questions regarding the etiquette of responsible adult cannabis consumption in various social settings. Ask Lady Cannabis appeared monthly in The Hemp Connoisseur.
What inspires me to be the Cannabis Maven: My use of the word maven comes from the Malcolm Gladwell social theory book, The Tipping Point. This book is an analysis of how trends tip from niche markets into mainstream markets. Gladwell identifies three pivotal business roles: connectors, salesmen, and mavens, whose combined efforts determine whether a particular trend will become an epidemic and "tip" into wide-scale popularity.
The successful tipping point for Airwalk shoes happened when the company brought together connectors, salesmen and a strategic maven. Together, in the 1990s, the culture maven and a clever advertising agency crafted a marketing campaign using subculture trends and humorous context to make shoe sales soar from a specialty sport niche to "every teen must have a pair to be cool" mainstream popularity.
