About me

After more than 13 years in biotech and pharma, I never expected my journey to lead me to cannabis education. But the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything.

As an essential worker, my body was exhausted. Despite trying melatonin, CBD, and every supplement I could find, nothing worked. Night after night, I lay restless, desperate for sleep.

Then came a turning point: I decided to try cannabis and THC. At first, I was intimidated. But with guidance from a trusted friend, I gave it a chance. The next morning, I woke up after the best night of sleep in years. My mind was blown — and my scientific curiosity lit up! 🔥🤓

Soon, I was diving into research, studying cannabinoids, terpenes, and the endocannabinoid system. What I discovered was powerful, but I also realized how confusing and misleading much of the information online can be.

When I later told my doctors about my experience, both responded with the same words:  “Yeah, like 90% of my patients.”
That moment showed me just how common, yet under-discussed, cannabis’s impact can be.

Cannabis isn’t a "cure-all". But while science works to uncover deeper answers, it can be a powerful tool to improve the quality of life.

That’s why I created Elevated Brains:
To turn my scientific background and passion for health education into a platform where cannabis knowledge is credible, digestible, and approachable.

Learning about cannabis doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Here, it’s playful, clear, and always grounded in evidence-based science.
