Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My business is built on the values my mother instilled in me—dedication, creativity, and a passion for enhancing beauty. Her resilience and work ethic inspire everything I do, from creating flawless microblading designs to offering exceptional lash services that empower my clients to feel confident and radiant.”

How do you stay motivated?

Motivation is a key ingredient that I. built on the foundation of discipline and perseverance that I learned from my father, a professional boxer. His dedication to his craft taught me the value of hard work, precision, and staying motivated through challenges. Inspired by his journey, I bring the same focus and commitment to my work in microblading and lash artistry, ensuring every client receives exceptional, personalized care.”

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I were awarded $25,000, I would invest it into expanding my business operations, laying the foundation for a chain of Athena Bears—a brand built on strength, precision, and beauty. Inspired by the discipline of my father, a professional boxer, and motivated by a passion for empowering others, I would use these funds to enhance my training programs, invest in state-of-the-art equipment, and create opportunities for other beauty professionals to grow within the industry.
