About

Principal of Supplement Advisory Group, specializing in regulatory support for dietary supplement and hemp product marketers.

Focusing on finding marketing risks and providing practical marketing solutions on the web, social media, and product labels.

Dedicating my career to streamlining operations and growing businesses while being at the intersection of clinical herbalism, compliant marketing, bioavailable nutrient delivery, and scientific substantiation.

I love educating about enforcement trends and lower-risk marketing strategies, which often change based on FDA/FTC action. I routinely speak about compliant business development strategies, industry compliance, and the nuances of marketing products effectively in the digital era.

I'm a Certified Clinical Herbalist (CCH) with 20 years of experience developing organizational strategies in the dietary supplement industry. I've developed, manufactured, and marketed hundreds of dietary supplement products and have helped oversee three FDA GMP audits with no 483s.

Former C-level executive integral in retooling operations, manufacturing, and QA to greatly improve order efficiency, fulfillment time, out of stocks, and excessive labor KPIs while supporting the company during brisk revenue growth stage.

Current Chair of American Herbal Products Association's (AHPA) dynamic Cannabis Committee and former board member. These affiliations allow me to continue to help drive hemp and dietary supplement regulations and compliance forward during this important time in the industry.
