Tymber Pope, born and raised in Fayetteville, has been in the medical marijuana industry for the past three years. She became an advocate for medical marijuana after deciding to cut alcohol out of her life: “The only thing that kept me grounded and consistent was cannabis. It quickly became a passion of mine … I made it a goal to build my career around that passion and guide others to the medicine.”

Pope now works as the general manager of Purspirit Cannabis in Fayetteville, where she wears many hats day-to-day budtending, filling online orders, checking in inbounds, managing the store schedule and leading team meetings. Pope says the most fulfilling part of her job is helping people. “My personal goal is to educate and help every patient that walks through our doors with genuine kindness and compassion!” When she isn’t at Purspirit, you can find Pope digging for crystals, skating, knitting or climbing around the Ozarks.
