Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Growing up in a military household, I watched my mother juggle babysitting and raising us while my father worked tirelessly to climb the ranks and earn his master’s degree. Their drive planted the seed for my own ambition. Despite challenges, I discovered my passion for serving others. In 2016, I started my first personal training business, inspired by my father and driven by a vision to bring victory, achievement, and longevity to others’ lives.

How do you stay motivated?

As a follower of Christ, I’m motivated by a purpose that goes beyond financial stability—providing healing and strengthening to the mind, body, and soul while contributing to God’s Kingdom. Witnessing individuals grow and overcome through my services inspires me to continue. With the support of my family, I aim to leave a lasting legacy and create a safe space for children and youth to thrive, ensuring they grow up in better circumstances than I did.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Winning the $25,000 prize would help me establish community hubs that focus on mind, body, and soul wellness. These facilities will serve as wellness centers, tutoring spaces, and trade schools by day and homeless shelters by night, providing opportunities for work and holistic wellness education. Starting in Puerto Rico, Virginia, Washington DC, Tampa, and El Salvador, these cost-effective hubs will lay the foundation for my global vision of healing and strengthening communities.
