Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from lived experience. After surviving a near-fatal crash and spending time in the ICU, I saw healthcare from both sides. The care I received and the loss of loved ones, including a parent and mentor, drive me to give back—turning gratitude into action through community health education and lifesaving training

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by purpose and impact. After my accident, I committed to giving back through CPR and health education in my community. Every person trained is a potential life saved. That mission, along with honoring those I’ve lost, keeps me focused and consistent, even through challenges. 

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to scale a sustainable, community-based CPR training model—expanding infrastructure, implementing verification technology, and deepening strategic partnerships. This investment will increase access to lifesaving education, generate recurring revenue, and position the model for long-term growth and replication in other communities
