- the founder of MJMomma Consulting, a cannabis-focused marketing agency
- partner of Fourtwenty Collections, Arizona-based edibles and skincare line
- and is the former market leader and program director for the national Women Grow organization.
While with Women Grow she was tasked with expanding the international footprint of the organization and did so by producing pop-up events throughout the country including Puerto Rico. As “DaMarijuanaMomma,” she has an organic social media following of more than 30,000 on multiple platforms where she has documented her journey with her special needs daughter and cannabis. When spinal fusion surgery to correct scoliosis left her then 15-year-old daughter with a rare, life-threatening condition characterized by chronic abdominal pain, Parisa’s search for palliatives led her to medical marijuana. After witnessing her daughter’s dramatic improvement, Parisa decided to leverage her marketing experience to re-brand the maligned industry through ongoing advocacy and education of the public on the benefits of plant medicine. Parisa graduated with honors from New Mexico State University with a Major in Agriculture
Business and a Minor in Marketing.
