I come from a creative background, playing in punk bands, tattooing, doing concert photography, and graphic design. I made the leap into the sciences in 2003 to study biology, which laid the groundwork for my path as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine. As a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine for over a decade, I hope to introduce a unique adventure for our minds, bodies and spirit and explore the intersection of our health with everything near and dear to us, including cuisine, craft, culture, and nature. I practice lifestyle medicine to help my patients achieve sustainable, optimal health. I created Field Guide as a union of my private medical practice, lifestyle medicine brand, and docu-series. In 2020, the pandemic hit and I was presented a position in the cannabis industry. I saw it as an opportunity to participate in an entirely new industry and draw on my background as both a scientist and a creative, to help shape the field based on a value system that resonates with the conscious consumer while making a positive impact.Through these experiences, I co-founded HOME PLANET, a full-service creative consultancy that celebrates new perspectives around inclusive, regenerative, and circular economy by partnering with brands to cultivate customer centric transformation.

Chief Product OfficerWelcome Cannabis Jun 2020 - Jun 2022Toronto, Ontario, CanadaBuying, operations, culture, and community building for Welcome Cannabis. Welcome Cannabis launched in 2020 with an aim to be a next generation cannabis brand. I helped define the brand’s unique core purpose: to bring to life a value system that resonates with the conscious cannabis consumer while making a positive impact.Today, there are over 1,000 dispensaries in Ontario and the government issuing 120 new licenses a month, and all cannabis retailers face an oversaturated market.Consumers were overwhelmed with choices, yet no distinctive perspective arose, and I saw an opportunity to transcend the conventional ideas within cannabis retailing.By aligning with a greater purpose of inclusivity, community and culture, Welcome Cannabis' brand purpose is translated through creative direction, branding, and most notably, the concept and design of its Dundas West location.
