As Affiliate Membership Director at AHAA, I help grow and activate a national network of entrepreneurs, wellness advocates, and small business owners working to protect access to federally legal hemp-derived products and plant-based health alternatives. Leveraging my background in health optimization, coaching, and payments infrastructure, I bridge the gap between advocacy and practical business support—equipping affiliates with the tools they need to stay compliant, grow revenue, and educate their communities on safe, legal options in the wellness space. My role includes: 1. Leading affiliate member acquisition, onboarding, and retention strategies 2. Supporting grassroots advocacy aligned with AHAA's state and federal policy priorities 3. Collaborating with health and wellness professionals to amplify impact through education, outreach, and community building 4. Advising members on sustainable business growth, leveraging my experience in payments and health coaching AHAA is a nonprofit that empowers individuals and small businesses to stand up against regulatory overreach and defend access to wellness alternatives. I’m proud to support that mission through strategic growth and real-world business insight.
