Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

The Hannah Foundation was established in honor of my mother, whose steadfast belief in hard work, education, opportunity, and giving back to others shaped my commitment to service. Her values guide the Foundation’s mission to empower individuals, strengthen communities, and expand access to meaningful pathways for economic mobility. Her legacy remains the driving force behind this work.

How do you stay motivated?

The Hannah Foundation is committed to expanding access, strengthening community opportunity, and advancing pathways to economic mobility. I am motivated by seeing individuals build confidence, develop essential skills, and secure meaningful employment—clear evidence that our work is creating lasting, measurable impact.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, The Hannah Foundation would expand its workforce readiness programs by funding skill‑building workshops, participant materials, and targeted outreach. This investment would help prepare individuals for employment, strengthen the local talent pipeline, and support the development of a strong, working‑class community.
