FOUNDER & CEO

Her Story

I unknowingly planted the initial seed of The Baltimore Vertical Farming Association during my sophomore year of college when I embarked on my first solotravel journey to study abroad in England. Since then I’ve backpacked through Southeast Asia, taught English in Spain, and visited 5 continents.

My combination of travel and work experience has cultivated growth opportunities on my path to becoming a social entrepreneur. The problem-solving skills I developed navigating unfamiliar territories, making decisions, and overcoming challenges activated my innovative spirit to push the boundaries of what’s possible.

My career spans industries such as Healthcare, Commercial Real Estate, Asset Management, and the non–profit Sector, but there has always been one recurring theme: my passion for impactful restorative justice reparations through strategic partnerships. I love working with community leaders who are on the front lines providing sustainable solutions to solve systemic issues like persistent poverty.

Throughout the years I’ve had the opportunity to oversee social equity partnership development,

strategic planning, cannabis advocacy and so much more. I'm a highly creative, future-focused, service-oriented professional with proven experience resulting in solid interpersonal relationships with clients, peers, and executive leaders.

Now, I live in the once-thriving industrial hub of Baltimore City. I'm committed to creating pathways to economic empowerment for Baltimore City by developing and implementing equitable and responsible cannabis-related ecosystems through vertical farming, innovative education, and value-added sustainable practices. By empowering residents and forming sustainable strategic partnerships we will build a strong and prosperous future for Baltimore City.
