Kendra grew up working in retail while completing a graphic design program in college. She learned very early how to connect with consumers during their purchase to increase sales and confidence. Her marketing and graphic design career transitioned across several industries from real estate, to engineering and manufacturing, and then retail distribution. Her responsibilities have included managing organization’s marketing strategies, while coordinating B2B relationships. She’s excited to crossover a decade of retail sales and marketing experience with a desire to educate consumers about cannabis. She takes pride in being a cannabis ambassador by building rapport with consumers, and consistently advocates responsible cannabis use through education and authentic relationships. She is actively connected to Canada’s retail cannabis offerings through networking with suppliers and brand representatives navigating the latest product trends, while on the management team at Co-op Cannabis’. Kendra had the pleasure of included on the Retail panel discussion at StratCann’s Growing Relationships, Calgary in May, and is happy to provide industry insights to the Cannabis Retail environment.
