    Hi, My name is Molly Visco and welcome my E portfolio.

  • 00:03 - 00:06

    I'm a junior at the University of Maryland, majoring in agriculture,

  • 00:06 - 00:08

    business and mining and innovation and entrepreneurship.

  • 00:08 - 00:11

    I'm also currently serving as president of my sorority.

  • 00:11 - 00:14

    This has forced me to be involved in Greek life community on

  • 00:14 - 00:16

    campus and to have an opportunity to make change within it.

  • 00:16 - 00:19

    Having this leadership opportunity has also given me a lot of

  • 00:19 - 00:21

    confidence in myself as a leader and as a businesswoman.

  • 00:22 - 00:23

    Growing up, I was always a natural leader,

  • 00:23 - 00:25

    whether it was serving as my captain for my lacrosse

  • 00:25 - 00:27

    and water polo high school teams or I was,

  • 00:27 - 00:30

    I was taking charge in group projects in the classroom.

  • 00:30 - 00:31

    I've always known I was going to be a

  • 00:31 - 00:33

    leader and to progress things forward in the future.

  • 00:33 - 00:35

    I've always valued change of progression,

  • 00:35 - 00:38

    which is something I try to implement in all aspects of my life.

  • 00:38 - 00:41

    I've had the opportunity to be introduced to the medical marijuana industry,

  • 00:41 - 00:43

    and I've been working in it for three years Now.

  • 00:43 - 00:46

    The industry is all about changing progression.

  • 00:46 - 00:48

    I want to showcase my artifacts that tie

  • 00:48 - 00:49

    into this line of work because there's something I

  • 00:49 - 00:52

    truly believe in something I really want to spend my time working on in the future.

  • 00:52 - 00:56

    My mother last year is diagnosed with lymph node and breast cancer.

  • 00:56 - 01:00

    She used an all THD treatment, which is a compound of the marijuana plant,

  • 01:00 - 01:01

    in order to reduce the size of her.

  • 01:01 - 01:06

    To us, it was an extremely successful medication plan, and she was cancer free.

  • 01:06 - 01:10

    An entire year later, the doctor said that I've never seen anything like it.

  • 01:10 - 01:12

    It's just something I want everyone to see.

  • 01:12 - 01:14

    And my mom's story is what motivates me to educate

  • 01:14 - 01:16

    and to advocate for this alternative use of medicine.

  • 01:16 - 01:19

    Not enough people understand what medical marijuana can

  • 01:19 - 01:21

    do and how healing it can really be.

  • 01:21 - 01:24

    I want everyone to be educated on this plant and for everyone to have

  • 01:24 - 01:27

    the opportunity to pursue it as their way of medicating if they choose to.

  • 01:27 - 01:29

    So having a chapter president,

  • 01:29 - 01:31

    having the experience of witnessing what medical marijuana

  • 01:31 - 01:34

    can do and working with patients everyday have shaped

  • 01:34 - 01:37

    me into the leader and the business woman I am today and the person I cannot wait

  • 01:38 - 01:39

    to keep progressing.

  • 01:39 - 01:42

    I'm excited to share with you what I've learned and

  • 01:42 - 01:44

    what I've put my knowledge towards about my academic career.

  • 01:44 - 01:46

    I'm extremely proud of these projects,

  • 01:46 - 01:48

    and I hope they continue to progress in the future.

  • 01:48 - 01:51

    You can find my artifacts under my portfolio section along with my resume.

  • 01:51 - 01:54
