Holly Aubry
CEO
#CannabisConfession: A couple of years ago, (pre-legalization in California), I was in a green room with Snoop reviewing talking points with him prior to his on-air interview. He managed to smoke two massive blunts in what felt like 60 seconds. As tempted as I was to raise up my arm as if to be next in line for the intercept, I didn’t partake (I was working people!).

#CannabisConfession: Sometimes when I’m giving my son his dose of CBD for epilepsy, I throw a few sublingual drops my way. Hey, Momma can use a little anti-inflammation and relaxation over here, thank you VERY much!

Natalie grew up in California Agriculture as a 4th generation member in her family’s dried fruit business. She spent summers “cutting cots” with her cousins and driving through apricot orchards at dawn with her Dad. She watched and learned as her family grew their business into the largest independent dried fruit packing company in the world. After studying philosophy, the arts, and learning about different cultures through her travels, she came back to California where she worked in all aspects of the dried fruit business from production and operations to marketing and sales. From 2003 to 2005, she led an international team in Thailand, establishing markets across Southeast Asia including, Hong Kong, China, India, Australia and Singapore. After her first son was born with a rare genetic syndrome, she passionately studied health and wellness to support his neurological system, and was certified as a detoxification nutritionist. She became a health advocate; teaching, speaking, writing, and v-logging and secured her own wellness radio show, “The Art of Clean Living,” in a mission to “give America its health back.” She initiated corporate wellness education programs for brands such as Fox Studios and Auberge Resorts and began writing for companies around the world. When her son developed epilepsy in 2017, she looked to plant medicine and found the incredible benefits of cannabis. It was so difficult to find good information and clean products for her son, that as she learned more, she knew she wanted to take all of her experience and put it towards pushing the Cannabis Industry forward. She is thrilled to be Chief of Operations for HUMAN NATURE, and to have the opportunity to revolutionize plant based medicine and bring the highest quality cannabis products to families across the world. She also currently serves as Wellness Advisor to the National Association of Child Development, and sits on the board of directors for Mariani Packing Co.

Accounts Director
#CannabisConfession: Being a daily coffee drinker, I've come to find that I often still get a major case of the jitters when I've had one cup too much, or even a strong cold brew that sends me a little too far past Cloud 9. When I discovered CBD coffee however, my whole world changed. Focus without the shakes? Awake without the tweak? I can't go back now. The best part of waking up is absolutely CBD coffee in my cup.”

Joel Kling
Creative Director
#CannabisConfession: Between my son and my mom, I see first-hand how our country’s prohibition on cannabis has put us back 40 years in our understanding of the benefits of this plant. I wish we weren’t playing catch-up on the world stage, and that the two people closest to me could possibly have had solutions to their suffering decades ago.

Kathleen Rivera
SVP of New Business
#CannabisConfession: My mother suffers from chronic migraines, and during my radiation therapy for breast cancer (which is long gone, THANK GOD!), we consumed medical cannabis together. It was surreal. My mother is really conservative, so I’ll never forget her saying to me afterwards in her thick accent, “Why didn’t someone make me try this 20 years ago!”
