Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My biggest inspiration is my daughter, her pride in me drives my passion for creating meaningful impact. My mother, an entrepreneur herself, taught me resilience, balance, and the power of pursuing what you love. Together, they inspire me to break barriers, lead with purpose, and build a legacy that uplifts others. Their influence fuels my commitment to making a difference by improving the most important aspect of people’s lives, their homes.

How do you stay motivated?

Staying motivated isn’t always easy, entrepreneurship comes with challenges, and there are days when it feels overwhelming. But what keeps me going is the reward of seeing my clients’ reactions when they walk into their transformed spaces. The light in their eyes, the joy on their faces, that moment when their dream becomes reality, is worth every hurdle. Knowing I’ve helped create a home that inspires and supports their lives reignites my passion every time.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If awarded $25K, I would invest in my business by securing professional bookkeeping and accounting services to streamline operations. I’d also conduct a comprehensive investment and profit analysis to identify growth opportunities and strategies that could elevate my business to the next level. This investment would allow me to scale sustainably, enhance client experiences, and expand my impact as an entrepreneur.
