Kristina Bienick
Executive Assistant
Custom Cannabis
Arkansas native Kristina Bienick is the executive assistant at Custom Cannabis in Alexander. As the very first staff member hired, she helped open the dispensary in 2020, starting off as a receptionist and working her way up to her current position. Before being hired at Custom Cannabis, Bienick prepared herself to enter the medical marijuana industry by taking classes and becoming twice certified as a dispensary agent by the ACIA and Hempstaff.
Bienick’s goal is to advocate for cannabis and continually learn more about its medical applications to be as equipped as she can to help Arkansas patients. She hopes to see changes in the industry such as recreational legalization, which would allow for more dispensary marketing and advertising. Bienick says that the heavy regulation of all marijuana marketing in Arkansas is causing barriers to entry and she would like to be able to promote Custom Cannabis freely without censorship.
