As some of you may know I’ve been hired on as a professor at University Anchorage Alaska to help develop and teach cannabis courses.
Our first course going on its second semester is CannaBasics! I still have room in my class for anyone that is looking to have a greater knowledge and understanding about cannabis regulation, law, history, cultivation and how to make some delicious infusions at home starting February 14th at 5:30pm.
Reach out to your student advisory or myself to get you all signed up. I have some amazing guest speakers coming in from the industry to share their wealth of knowledge and not to mention some exciting hands-on demonstrations. Everything from planting your first hemp seed to infusing food for your friends and family.

Rove Co
Join Our Adventures and Meetups
Our story
I am a military spouse who LOVES living in Fairbanks, AK, but encountered many barriers and limited resources for learning how to safely explore the outdoors (especially with a spouse who was overseas our first 2 winters here). Navigating Alaska’s wilderness can be daunting, dangerous and intimidating to a point where people avoid the outdoors. I created Rove Co to represent a more accessible community and be a foundation in education for adventuring. I want all ages and skill levels to feel they have opportunities to be successful outdoors. Join our journey and community and Find Your Way Outdoors.
