Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My greatest inspiration in business is the people I serve. Watching someone who once felt invisible stand tall, reclaim their story, and believe in their future that's what drives me. My own journey through adversity also feels me daily. I built Lady of influence from my scars, not my successes. Every challenge are overcame became a blueprint for helping others do the same. Purpose is my business model.

How do you stay motivated?

I stayed motivated by remembering where I came from. On hard days, I think of every person who was told that they were too broken to be helped because I was once that person. My motivation isn't found in accolades; it lives in The quiet moments when a client says, "I didn't think I can do this". I also prioritize my own well-being through prayer, journaling, and reflection. You cannot pour from an empty cup.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Winning $25,000 would be a direct investment into Lady of influence Collective. I would use it to find our operational foundation securing our physical space, developing our service programs, and building the technology infrastructure needed to reach underserved communities across alaska. Every dollar would go toward creating a dignified, premium environment where healing is accessible to all, regardless of background. This isn't just a business it's a lifeline."
