Behind The Buds: Episode 5

BEHIND THE BUDS IS BACK!

Every month we like to give the opportunity to our OGENauts to tell a little bit about themselves and the work they do at OGEN!

This month we wanted to highlight our friend Ryan from the Quality Assurance team! Ryan is the type of employee to arrive early every shift to ensure that he is on time. He is calm and collected and typically quiet but has a great sense of humour that he shares when he opens up.

When it comes to his responsibilities to OGEN he ensures to stay on top of the priorities provided to him efficiently and on time. He is known to always make himself available when needed and we couldn’t be more grateful for his assistance. We are very proud of the work that Ryan has done, and it's been incredible to watch his journey from starting in sanitation to working his way into Quality Assurance.

We recently took some to ask Ryan a few questions about himself and his role at OGEN.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH OGEN?

I’ve been at OGEN for about 2 ½Years

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH CANNABIS LIKE?

Coming from an unrelated field initially, it was an exciting opportunity with lots of new experiences.

It was an overwhelming flood of information at the start on the care and procedures around the plants, in regards to what and why we do certain things at each stage of the process but having experienced coworkers made a great deal of difference, and now I feel excited to share that same experience with others as they enter the field and join our team.

HOW DO YOU LIKE TO SPEND YOUR DAYS OFF AWAY FROM OGEN?

On my days off I like to spend my time reading, gaming, travelling and camping.

WHAT DOES A TYPICAL DAY AT OGEN LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?

Some of my responsibilities include myself confirming that incoming product matches desired specifications and issuing components to upcoming lots. Every day could be something new in Quality Assurance.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE STRAIN TO WORK WITH  AT OGEN?

My favourite would be Space Flight Superstar #11.

IF YOU COULD CHOOSE ANY SUPERPOWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY?

For a superpower, I would choose teleportation so I could travel the world and always be on time!

 

We would like to give Ryan a big thank you for all his hard work around the facility and for taking part in this episode of Behind The Buds! His work ethic is recognized and very appreciated. We look forward to watching him continually develop his skills in Quality Assurance and cannabis. We'll be back next month with another episode of Behind The Buds!

At OGEN,  we are driven by our need for continual improvement and the passion we have for great bud!
