Cannabis Expertise

Welcome to the Cannabis section of my world, where my passion and expertise in this dynamic industry come together. My journey in cannabis is deeply rooted in personal and professional experiences that have shaped my unique perspective and dedication to this field.

My Journey

Born in the Philippines and raised in Anaheim, California, I've always embraced diverse cultures and communities. My journey took me through Phoenix, Arizona, and Tampa, Florida, where I collaborated with local artists for events like Smok'n Words and Smok'n Beats, celebrating the intersection of art, music, and cannabis culture.

Cannabis has been a part of my life for over 15 years. I've witnessed its transformation from a stigmatized substance to a regulated industry. It's remarkable to see how far we've come—from buying cannabis on the streets to now building a career as a registered agent with the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission.

Professional Experience

I had the privilege of working with celebrity chef Miguel Trinidad, founder of 99th Floor, a gourmet cannabis-infused food brand. At 99th Floor, I learned the art of crafting subtle cannabis experiences through exquisite dining events. Chef Miguel's innovative approach has been featured in The New York Times, Food Network, and Vice, inspiring me to explore new possibilities in the cannabis industry.

Currently, I am the Store Lead at Botera, a top recreational cannabis dispensary in Union, NJ. Botera started in Boston, MA, and has expanded to bring quality cannabis experiences to more communities. My role involves overseeing operations, ensuring compliance with New Jersey's Cannabis Regulatory Commission regulations, and providing exceptional customer service.
