Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My patients are my inspiration, it is their stories that changed the direction of my life. Working beside them through injury, recovery, setbacks, and victories revealed gaps in how care is delivered. I became an entrepreneur to create better solutions that support recovery, empowerment, and extend the impact of care beyond the treatment table.

How do you stay motivated?

Everyday as a physical therapist, it’s my patients’ victories that keep me motivated. Whether it’s a first step, returning to a favorite activity, or gaining confidence, it is those moments that remind me why I chose this path. Progress isn’t always fast or easy, but watching patients overcome challenges and reclaim independence fuels my passion to keep learning, improving, and showing up ready to help the next person succeed.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Funding like this would allow me to expand access to care for patients who might otherwise go without it due to insurance or access limitations. Many people delay or avoid getting therapies due to cost, transportation, or limited availability. This support would help reduce those barriers by helping us provide resources and assistance, allowing me to reach individuals who truly need care, but lack the means. Ultimately, it would help more patients recover, regain, improve their quality of life
