Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business comes from my military experience and my passion for helping others feel confident in their skin. Serving in the Army taught me discipline, resilience, and commitment. As an esthetician and founder of Alexandra’s Essence, I’m inspired by the ability to create a space where people can invest in self-care, build confidence, and feel their best.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by reminding myself why I started. I want to build a better future for my daughter, create financial stability, and grow my esthetician business into something meaningful. My military background taught me discipline and resilience, so even when things get challenging, I stay focused on my goals and continue pushing forward.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I received $25,000, I would invest it into growing my esthetician business, Alexandra’s Essence. I would use the funds to purchase advanced skincare equipment, professional product inventory, marketing, and branding to attract more clients. This investment would allow me to expand my services, enhance the client experience, and continue building a luxury skincare brand focused on confidence and self-care.
