Biography

Danielle Bernstein, born in Atlanta, Georgia, has traversed the globe living in Boston, New York, New Mexico, South America, Vermont, Seattle and now Salem, Oregon. Her experience brings creativity and vision to Laurelcrest and the hemp industry at large. She spent a majority of her early career as the owner of Clear Films, an independent film company focused on documentary work and freelance commercial advertising. Her award - winning independent film work was inspired by the power of story to bridge communities and build empathy for ourselves and the world we live in. It was through her film about returning veterans that she found the interlocking pathways of her family CBD business and her multiple board positions on organizations building futures through heathy food systems. Joining Laurelcrest provided the opportunity to advocate as well as facilitate increased access to safe and effective alternative plant medicines. Now serving as a Vice President of Laurelcrest, a hemp ingredient and finished product manufacturer in McMinnville Oregon, she is honored to continue her work in this industry of innovation, serve on the advisory board of directors of the Oregon Hemp Association, and continue to advocate for access to plant medicine and natural modalities of healing ourselves and the earth.
