Helped SunMed launch their newly awarded (2021) processing license under the SunMed Labs brand. I was recruited by my previous supervisors at MPX and brought a multitude of industry leading experience and tech that helped propel SunMed Labs to the forefront of Maryland's medical and now recreational market. Currently running large scale production equipment such as Bizzy Bee, Luna and Beaker & Wrench technologies. I am directly responsible for training new hires on safety, SOP's and cleanliness. I also learned how to build a C1D1/C1D2 operating area. We are CGMP certified.

Cresco bought the company I was working for, AFS Maryland / OG Clear. At the time of the company change I was a Lab Technician (1 of 2 people in the lab). I was responsible for all prep work for extraction and cleanliness of the lab. My direct supervisor was let go and I was promoted to Lab Manager. I oversaw 4-7 employees and was responsible for daily production logs, logging metric information, maintaining temperature, maintenance and cleaning logs. I also planned SKU's and strains and stayed in constant communication with packaging managers, sales and the facility director to maintain a cohesive and well oiled production schedule.

Started my cannabis career as a packager for AFS MD's concentrate line. Learned how to calibrate scales, take inventory, weigh out and package concentrates in all forms. Shortly after being hired, my manager saw that I was excelling in my duties and decided I could be used more wisely as a Lab Technician. I was responsible for packing socks/columns, operating vacuum ovens, changing mol sieves, flipping slabs, running the Roto Evap and maintaining a clean and safe work environment. A few months after that Cresco acquired our company as part of a multi state sale.

Before my cannabis career I worked as a bartender for several different restaurants. On top of daily bartending duties I acquired several other important skills such as customer service, multitasking under pressure, handling of monies, TAM/TIP alcohol and ServSafe certifications. I believe a lot of my success in the cannabis industry is directly related to lessons learned and work ethic I acquired while working in the restaurant industry
