Emily graduated from Berklee College of Music with a dual degree in Music Business Management and Vocal Performance, and began her cannabis journey in 2010 as a member of the Massachusetts Cannabis Reform Coalition (MassCann/NORML). She was elected to their Board of Directors in 2012-2014 and played a major role in fundraising as the Head of Sponsorship Acquisition, raising tens of thousands of dollars for the educational  non-profit. During her time with MassCann, Emily also managed The Hempest in Harvard Square where she spent her days educating customers about current and developing cannabis laws while merchandising and wholesale purchasing hemp products, vaporizers and locally-crafted glassware. 

All along the way, Emily was creating her own edibles brand: Boston’s Better When Baked. Her goal was to create filling, nutritious and mouth-watering cannabis-infused foods that nourished the soul, inspired creativity and stimulated the body. Since 2016, Emily has impacted the lives of thousands of medical marijuana patients as the Director of Infused Product Development at In Good Health in Brockton, MA. From imaginative chocolate bars and infused soup to liposomal nano-technology, her menu has something for everyone.
