Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My dad is my biggest inspiration. In Grade 9 at 14, he started a photography business, taking portraits and developing film himself in a darkroom. Later, he founded Yearbookplanet, creating custom yearbooks and apparel for schools. During COVID-19, I worked with him as we pivoted to selling apparel. Watching him stay calm, make tough decisions, and take responsibility changed the way I approach leadership and entrepreneurship every day.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by setting clear goals and tracking progress every day. At 12, I built BunnyInject, a platform letting iOS users safely install apps not on the App Store, serving 180,000 users. Reviewing goals helps me focus on growth and tackle challenges step by step. Staying connected to my purpose of solving real problems and creating tools people rely on pushes me to keep learning, improving, and building meaningful solutions.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to build an AI-powered cybersecurity platform that helps businesses protect sensitive information like customer data, payment details, and important documents. Cybersecurity is more important than ever. The funds would help develop smart tools to detect threats, create a secure system, and test it with early users, giving business owners confidence and a solution that they can rely on.
