Julia Jerome, Director of Production

Julia was hired as the first employee of The Healing Rose team in April 2018 and is now the Director of Production, spending her days directing the entire production lab as they handcraft products. She spent the majority of her life in the Hudson Valley, New York. While attending college, Julia developed severe digestive issues. For a couple of years she went undiagnosed, trying many medications that provided nothing but side effects. During this difficult time she turned to cannabis to treat her symptoms, where she felt the impact of the stigma due to living in New York. Around the time she was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, an Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), she moved in with a friend in Connecticut and began researching how people were using cannabis and hemp to treat IBD. Shortly after she became a CT medical patient. Julia was obsessed with learning everything she could about this plant, taking many classes and attending events. While she gained a better understanding on what to look for in strains, she became frustrated with the CT pharmaceutical model, often feeling like she knew more than the people helping her at the dispensary. She decided that she needed to be a part of the New England Cannabis Industry to ensure that people had access to the education needed to determine the best way to use cannabis and hemp in their lives. She is grateful to be a part of such an accepting community and loves providing education and products that help make a difference in people’s lives. In her free time, Julia is just as passionate about the outdoors as she is about cannabis and hemp, and is happiest exploring trails.
