Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business comes from Bethenny Frankel, whose grit, authenticity, and humanitarianism show what’s possible when passion meets purpose. I’m also inspired by my family of business owners, especially my mom, who taught me the hustle and risks of ownership. Through relentless pursuits and fierce failures, I’ve gained wisdom, confidence, and vision to help prevent avoidable stroller street tragedy by revolutionizing a safety design that is unchanged for centuries.

How do you stay motivated?

I have an intense and unwavering inner motivation because I know firsthand that life is incredibly short. Surviving cancer twice taught me to live fully in the present and embrace every experience as a win. Knowing my product vastly improves stroller safety and convenience, and hearing parents and industry experts call it brilliant, fuels my purpose and drives me forward every single day.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I would redesign and rebrand our debut safety product, the Stroller Controller, based on past feedback gathered from attendees at local and national tradeshows, industry competitions, and real-world stroller users. Our next-generation redesign will simplify the device while expanding its compatibility with a larger segment of baby and pet strollers, offering unmatched safety and convenience globally.
