Green Bee Life Founder Maria Calabrese thrives on giving a voice to the cannabis community and the industry's most innovative brands.
She uses her experience and education in marketing, law, cross-cultural communication, and TV/film management and production to advocate for cannabis law reform, educate consumers, and give businesses the exposure they need to thrive.
At the heart of Maria's work is her mission to unleash the full potential of cannabis as a wellness solution — a mission fueled by her personal experiences with pain and end-of-life pet care.
During Maria's shift from traditional television to digital media, her focus has remained on empowering people with information and supporting educators and brands through meaningful content and mentorship.
Maria holds a Doctor of Law (J.D.) and a Master of Science (M.S.) in Mass Communication/Media Studies from Boston University School of Law. She is an active member of the National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA) where she contributes to the Marketing & Advertising Committee.
