I report on cannabis business while building executive thought leadership and B2B content strategies.

What I'm looking for

I'm interested in connecting with executives, entrepreneurs and industry experts who can share insights on where the cannabis business is heading next.

I'm a contributing writer at MJBizDaily, reporting on cannabis business, including international trade, capital markets, regulation, retail operations, branding and technology.

At Treez, I support media outreach around operational insights, product developments and modern cannabis retail. I also serve on Qwoted's Media Advisory Board and help cannabis companies shape executive thought leadership, media strategies and long-form content.

Across nearly 20 years of B2B writing, I've translated technical subjects into clear, accurate content for healthcare, SaaS and other industries. My work includes executive interviews, enterprise reporting, web copy, blogs, landing pages, white papers, case studies, press releases and editing.
