Monique Stallings is an accomplished individual with over 20 years of experience in finance and accounting. Armed with a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Post University, she has held various senior accounting positions, which laid a solid foundation for her meticulous attention to detail and strategic thinking.

With a commitment to promoting responsible consumption and advocating for the safe use of cannabis, Monique aims to break stereotypes and redefine the plant’s role in society. She envisions cannabis as a beneficial resource for overall health and well-being, contributing to healthier, thriving communities.
