What are 1-2 of your most significant academic/extracurricular/work experiences? One of my most impactful experiences was my time serving as the Executive VP of Data & Intelligence on the Medical Cannabis Student Association. It taught me how to work with a cross functional team, expand my network, advocate for access, make lasting partnerships, weed out the unwanted energy, and most importantly how to do what I love.
What is your ideal job/role in about 10 years? CEO/Co-Founder
What led you to enroll in the MSLCE program at Northwestern? My versatility in different fields/industries such as creative arts, cannabis, and business. I was tired of trying to fit in one box when I know im talented in many areas and want to show the world it’s possible to display those talents with synergy.
What aspect of the MSLCE program are you most excited to experience? Honestly, all of it. If I had to pick, I’d say the people (professors, students, professionals)! I’m curious what brought them to the program and what goals they have for the future.
Favorite media? My favorite TV show of all time is tied between Westworld and The Magicians. Second place is tied between Breaking Bad, The Sorpranos and Dexter. My favorite on screen character is tied between Rick Grimes and Olivia Pope. I consider myself a TV show fanatic! My favorite podcast is the Joe Budden Podcast. My favorite festival I’ve attended was Day n Vegas. Favorite song is hard because I listen to many genes but if I had to pick it would be A Milli by Lil Wayne.
If you could have lunch with one person (living or dead), who would it be? And why? Albert Einstein, I always say I feel like I’m him reincarnated. Energy is everything, would love to talk to the person who gave us e=mc2. I’m a woman of Science!
What award would you most like to win? SXSW Innovation Award
