Ep 09- Improving Quality and Efficiency in the Cannabis Industry with Aylene Peter, QA/RA Liasion at Canopy Growth Corporation

Welcome to episode 9 of the FoodGrads podcast. This week on the podcast I have my first ever podcast guest who works in the Cannabis space- Aylene Peter the QA/RA liaison at the Canopy Growth Corporation. Canopy Growth Corporation, is a cannabis company based in Smiths Falls, Ontario. They have a huge brand portfolio with products that include both recreational and medicinal marijuana products. In this episode, Aylene teaches me about the Cannabis industry and the quality side behind these products and how Canopy Growth ensures that these products are safe when getting to consumers. We also talk about her mentors, the challenges she faced when trying to find a job, her love for auditing and how great the people in the Cannabis space are. Aylene is just a such a warm person that has shown me that even if you don't know what you want to do out of high school or even college that that's okay. If you keep showing up, connect with people, stay positive and most of all having confidence in yourself things will eventually fall into place. This conversation has really shown me that the Cannabis sector is an exciting place work and maybe individuals interested in a career in the food and beverage industries should also consider a job in the cannabis sector as well. There is a lot to be learned. Show Notes https://foodgrads.com/foodgrads-ep-09--improving-quality-and-efficiency-in-the-cannabis-industry-with-aylene-peter-qa-ra-liasion-at-canopy-growth-corporation/
