Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I’m inspired by builders who create solutions that improve people’s lives at scale. In healthcare especially, small innovations can have massive impact. As a pharmacy student and entrepreneur, I’m motivated by the opportunity to bridge healthcare and technology to solve real problems patients face every day. Seeing how innovation can improve access, safety, and understanding of medications keeps me pushing forward.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by focusing on the long-term impact of what I’m building. Healthcare has so many gaps, and every project is an opportunity to solve one of them. I surround myself with people who are building meaningful things and constantly learn from mentors, founders, and industry leaders. Progress, even small wins, reminds me why I started and keeps me moving forward.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the funds into building and validating health technology solutions that improve patient access to safe and effective care. Specifically, it would support development and testing of tools that help patients navigate medications and healthcare decisions more confidently. Funding would go toward product development, user testing with pharmacists and patients, and expanding partnerships to bring these solutions into real-world healthcare settings.
