      Apr 2014 - Jan 2021
      Chief Executive Officer

      In April 2014, I started my company from scratch. We had online and local retail stores, plus a 2,500 sq/ft manufacturing and distribution facility that met high standards. We created five brands with 40 unique products, secured global wholesale deals, and opened a local retail store in October 2015, serving over 500 customers a month.I stayed updated through workshops, industry publications, and networking. I also dealt with FDA regulations as our industry evolved. In 2021, I sold the company due to increasing and uncertain regulations which were accompanied by an exponentially growing workload.
