Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Fueled by the paws I've helped and the hearts I've touched, I'm driven to swim upstream like a shark, breaking barriers and biting into new challenges. My business is about amplifying the voiceless, whether they're dogs or people in need.My inspiration? Making a real impact and crushing goals. The view from the top of that mountain is gonna be breath taking.

How do you stay motivated?

Knowing someone, a dog, a friend, or a stranger, needs help. It's a spark that lights a fire in me. I can't stop, and I won't. Every step forward is a step toward making a difference.That's my get down , my drive, my win. To me its important to amplify the voices of those who need it most. Whether it's advocating for a dog in need or supporting a family in crisis, I know I'm making an impact.The thought of stopping is unthinkable, I can't not do this work.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With a $25,000 prize, I'd invest in The Giving Paw, a self-sustainable haven for dogs in Desert Hot Springs. We'll help everyone who walks through our doors, generating $350-500k annually. A safe space for dogs, a hub for the community, and a model for compassionate living.
