Bio
I thrive at the intersection of business, health, and policy.
I have dedicated nearly a decade of my career to guiding organizations in the emerging fields of psychedelic and medical cannabis therapies, helping organizations navigate complex regulatory landscapes and engage their communities effectively.
Throughout my journey, I have collaborated with both grassroots groups and established entities, including the Illinois Psychedelic Society, Medici Healthcare, and numerous independent consulting clients, ensuring their operations are both compliant and impactful.

Market Research
I conducted comprehensive analysis and engaged with key stakeholders to address and advocate for equity initiatives within the Illinois cannabis market, and presented findings in the Illinois Cannabis Industry Disparity Study to influence policy changes and promote industry-wide inclusivity.
Aligning Healthcare with Community
I have guided several prominent organizations in the private practice healthcare and nonprofit sectors to reposition their community engagement strategies and align with the evolving landscape of psychedelic and medical cannabis policies. This transformation enhanced their impact and relevance in a rapidly changing landscape.
Systems Design
I have helped new organizations with the design and implementation of their self managed online profiles and administrative tools.
Leadership in Legislation
I spearheaded a state-wide advocacy campaign for the Illinois CURE Act, successfully uniting stakeholders and influencing policy decisions to support the integration of psychedelics in therapeutic practices. This effort included organizing Advocacy Day, engaging with legislators, and leading public education initiatives to shift public opinion and legislative perspectives on psychedelic therapy.
I guide organizations in emerging industries to develop clear and impactful systems and strategies that reflect their mission and values, enhancing their community engagement and regulatory compliance.
