Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from my personal journey moving to Toronto, one of the most diverse cities in the world. Despite the diversity, many newcomers experience loneliness and culture shock when starting over. This inspired me to create GlobalBridge Games, a social initiative that brings immigrants, international students, and locals together through modern and traditional games. Our mission is to foster belonging, meaningful friendships, and professional connections.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by my vision of becoming the best version of myself and creating a meaningful impact through my work. Every day I focus on growth, discipline, and moving closer to my long-term goals. My drive comes from a deep desire to build something bigger than myself. Ultimately, my goal is to achieve financial freedom while creating opportunities for others.

What would you do with the $25,000?

When I win the $25,000, I would invest it into expanding GlobalBridge Games through event production, marketing, and community growth. A portion would go toward further developing the branded merchandise and scaling the initiative. I would also allocate part of the funds toward long term investments and personal development as an entrepreneur. Lastly, I would share a portion with my mother, who has been my biggest supporter throughout my journey.
