Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I’m inspired by entrepreneurs who build businesses that create both profit and positive impact. My biggest inspiration comes from the idea that business can be a tool to improve lives and communities. Through ventures like Creekside RnR and Abundant by Design, I’m motivated by the possibility of creating spaces where people can rest, grow, connect, and rediscover what truly matters. Seeing transformation in others is what fuels my entrepreneurial journey.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by staying connected to purpose. Every business I build is rooted in the belief that entrepreneurship can create freedom, opportunity, and well-being for others. I also stay energized by learning, surrounding myself with inspiring people, and celebrating small wins along the way. When challenges arise, I return to my vision: building businesses that are intentional, impactful, and designed for abundance.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the $25,000 to expand the impact of my businesses. The funding would help strengthen operations, improve guest experiences at Creekside RnR, and support the growth of Abundant by Design so I can help more entrepreneurs build intentional, sustainable businesses. Ultimately, the investment would allow me to scale ideas that create economic, personal, and community transformation.
