- Quality & Value: Premium, full-flower only—no shake, no trim. Our tag line is as strong as our values, "High Quality, High Value."
- Supply Chain Optimization: We’ve structured Cowboy Kush to ensure profitability for cultivators, manufacturers, and retailers alike.

- Providing accurate product knowledge, to ensure customer satisfaction
- Responsible for updating and maintaining the entire medical and adult-use menu


Second, I assisted in all aspects of production down in our 75,000 sq. ft. cultivation facility. This includes:

- Worked closely with our head cultivator. I was required for cloning, pruning, and up potting of cannabis plants.
- Feeding cannabis plants all nutrients; both through our autonomous fertigation system and by hand.
- Worked with the trimming and production team. Specifically, I was responsible for packaging whole buds and edibles.
- Worked closely with packaging team to ensure all was in compliance before a delivery was sent out. This included correct # of goods, manifests, and products.
- Safely transported over $1 million in cannabis products to facilities throughout the state of Massachusetts.
