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. However, it was her passion for the cannabis sector that ultimately shaped her career path.
Monique’s journey began in Hartford County, where she was born. Growing up on a military base, she, like many others, developed a negative perspective on cannabis. This viewpoint shifted dramatically when she met her husband, Zerrell Stallings, who introduced her to the health benefits of cannabis. Witnessing firsthand its potential to improve lives, Monique was inspired to help communities leverage this natural remedy over harmful pharmaceuticals.
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.
As a new business owner in Litchfield County, Monique is dedicated to making positive changes through education, advocacy, and collaboration. She believes in the power of community and is determined to create environments where individuals can flourish physically, mentally, and emotionally. Monique’s leadership at Higher Collective Torrington reflects her passion for cannabis and her unwavering commitment to community wellness.
