Tara is a dedicated General Manager in the cannabis industry, driven by a clear purpose: to help people heal. With a hands-on leadership style and a deep understanding of patient needs, she focuses on creating an environment where education, trust, and care come first. Tara leads with intention, ensuring that every patient’s experience is rooted in compassion and knowledge.

Through her work, she is committed to breaking stigma, building strong teams, and helping individuals find the solutions that work best for them.

I’ve spent over 30 years in retail, working in roles from frontline service to management. For the past four years, I’ve focused on studying cannabis, terpenes, and the endocannabinoid system. I also run The TerpDad on Instagram, where I share educational content and answer patient questions. Helping people understand their ailments and using that insight to guide better cannabis education is what drives me. Outside of work, I’m a dedicated long boarder and disc golfer — two hobbies that keep me grounded and active.

For the past 25 years, I had the privilege of working in emergency medicine, caring for people during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. That experience taught me the importance of compassion, active listening, and treating every person with respect and dignity.
Today, I bring those same values to helping patients navigate medical cannabis. I understand that everyone’s health journey is unique, and I believe patients deserve clear, honest information to help them make informed decisions. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where people feel comfortable asking questions, learning about their options, and finding products that best support their individual needs.
