Co-Founder & Director Of Education And Outreach

• Jun 2018 - Feb 2022

As a co-founder and director, I oversee various department programs, resources, and the development of business curriculum, and develop Cannabis education material for events. As part of the Hemp Business Builder team, I also create standard operating procedures for New Businesses for employee training purposes by creating custom training platforms with a focus on compliance and regulations in the Hemp & Cannabis Space. Here is what our clients have to say: "Hemp Business Builder is a critical piece in our Texas cannabis ecosystem. With the market moving as fast-paced as it does, it has been a great resource in helping businesses like mine at Restart understand and stay connected to important news and resources, as well as help build a community of advocates that can band together to ultimately drive change forward in our city and state. I appreciate the work Leah, Cintia, and their team are doing to help businesses like mine stay informed and plugged in!" - Shayda Torabi, Founder Restart "From the last 2 years of working with various industry partnerships, by far joining the Inner Circle has delivered the biggest results we have seen from any program. I highly recommend joining Hemp Business Builder. - Lee Vernon, Founder First Responder Fuel "Higher Ed. Hemp Tours & the Inner Circle is our go-to for anything Texas hemp-related. As a retailer, it is crucial to continue our education and to stay up to date with the ever-changing cannabis laws. Having an outlet like HT's dashboard keeps us informed in so many areas of the industry, which then leaves us more time to connect with our community."- Jae Graham, Founder Mary Jae's
