Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I’m inspired by the chance to bring new ideas to life through innovation and create solutions that make life easier for people. It’s incredibly rewarding to work on something that can improve patient care and prevent unnecessary suffering, like my healthtech AI startup, which aims to reduce diagnostic errors and catch illnesses like cancer earlier. That mission keeps me motivated every day.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by aligning my passions with my work, doing what I love, and helping others. When your efforts align with your purpose, it doesn’t feel like an uphill battle—it feels like you’re being pulled forward by something bigger. My mission to improve patient care, reduce diagnostic errors, and prevent unnecessary suffering keeps me inspired and driven to push through challenges and make a difference.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I received the $25,000, it would help cover the costs of preparing our healthtech AI product for its first pilot program in a doctor’s office. This funding would help allow us to test the system in a real-world setting, refine it, and take a big step toward our mission of helping people be healthier by reducing diagnostic errors and improving patient care.
