Hi! I’m Sara. I’m a consultant in the United States cannabis industry with a background in business and government. I have experience in licensing, start up operations, negotiating deals, investing in the industry, compliance, and continuing education. Thanks for visiting my website—you’ve come to the right place.
EXPERIENCE
I consult for companies in the areas of business strategy, licensing, and compliance. I’ve been a licensed attorney in the state of Arizona since 2005. Twice elected Mayor of Flagstaff, I was the first woman to hold this office. I have served on numerous state and regional commissions, including the Governor’s Homeland Security Council. I’ve been General Counsel of a renewable energy company, CEO of a medical company, and CEO of a prestigious women’s foundation. In 2015, I began working full time in the cannabis industry. I served on the Arizona Dispensaries Association Board of Directors and am a member of the International Cannabis Bar Association. I’ve helped build cannabis businesses from the ground up, including licensees and management companies. I also have experience owning and operating cannabis licenses. I understand this highly regulated market and know what it takes to succeed. Prospective clients should note that I only consider new clients by recommendation or referral. Due to the complex and robust nature of my work, I cannot respond to every inquiry. If you are a public agency or government representative seeking a consultation for services or a pro bono evaluation of your prospective rules or cannabis program, please contact me through my LinkedIn profile. I look forward to hearing from you!
