Canadian CANNAINVESTOR Magazine September 2018 | Page 205

Thank you, Louis for the introduction! I’m excited to share a glimpse of my journey that led me to ‘follow the White Rabbit’ and my vision as it relates to the cannabis industry going forward. In my past Executive Assistant life, I planned numerous corporate events for companies that included: BlackBerry, Sleeman Breweries and ATS Automation. Themed social events have always fed my creative and resourceful soul.

Fast forward to the present, I recently obtained my WPIC certification from the Wedding Planners Institute of Canada and ‘ditched the 9-5’ so to speak. It is a lot of hard work to build a business from the ground up, but great to have more flexibility for my kids and do what I love full-time. I’ve developed a real passion for planning weddings, and always been a hopeless romantic at heart, so my primary focus will be there. With recreational cannabis set to be legal October 17th I believe there will be a desire for cannabis to be interwoven as an element or theme in weddings, stag and does, and other social gatherings.
