About our guest speaker:
Asya Hill began her cannabis career as a part-time Product Specialist with Grassroots prior to the Curaleaf acquisition. Within a year she worked her way up to Lead Product Specialist at the first Chicago-based adult use dispensary owned by Curaleaf. Prior to working in the cannabis industry, she focused on career work that created impacts in communities globally. As the Operations & People’s Culture Manager for WE Charity, her team worked with students to develop student-led service-learning and inclusivity programs to add to their curriculums. In this role, she also facilitated service trips to international underserved communities to enact community lead programs to reconcile historical issues they face. She joined Curaleaf’s Corporate Social Responsibly Team as the Central Regional Associate Specialist to continue creating strong social impact within the cannabis industry. Through this role she has on the ground experience working with organizations that help combat the collateral consequences of the War on drugs and give back to the communities we serve.
