Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business comes from seeing the need to bridge gaps in urban and rural communities by creating opportunities that empower individuals while driving social impact. As a social entrepreneur, I’m motivated to develop monetizable pathways that uplift underserved communities through education, technology, and design. By addressing inequities and equipping the next generation with skills and tools for success, I strive to inspire change and foster sustainable growth.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by focusing on my mission to create opportunities for underserved communities and empower the next generation. Seeing the tangible impact of my work. Whether it’s a student mastering a new skill or a community gaining access to resources it fuels my passion. I’m driven by the potential to bridge gaps in education and technology while building sustainable, impactful solutions. Every challenge is a chance to innovate and make a lasting difference.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I would launch a mobile STEM lab to bring STEM and STEAM lessons to urban and rural communities, providing hands-on learning for students, educators, and parents. The funds would support equipment, materials, and outreach efforts to deliver innovative, tech-driven education directly to underserved areas. This initiative would empower communities with skills for the future, bridge educational gaps, and inspire a passion for STEM in the next generation.
