She served as the Research Director for the Joint Committee on Cannabis Policy in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, where she contributed to much of the legislation on cannabis that's enforced today, including the groundbreaking Senate Bill 3096. This bill promotes equity in the cannabis industry and removes barriers to entry for small businesses.

Catherine's early entry into the cannabis industry at its genesis gave her a unique vantage point to observe its growth and evolution. Since her auspicious internship, Catherine has continuously expanded her knowledge of cannabis legislation and policy in tandem with the industry's progress. As a result, she has emerged as a key player in the burgeoning cannabis movement in the Northeast and has built an exciting career in this rapidly developing field.
