Joyce Hanlon
I recently moved from Houston, Texas and am so happy to be in Colorado! It has taken me years to make the move here. My first introduction to Colorado was in High School and a ski trip to Steamboat Springs that hooked me. I knew then I had to be this amazing state.
I love hiking, biking & swimming. I’m an avid tennis player and I’m always looking to hit with someone.
I love sales. I’ve tried other things but I’m most at home when speaking with a prospective customer and helping them discover the new product that they need for their business. I’m very excited about what Simplifya has to offer in the cannabis industry and can’t wait to meet my new customers!
