Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My dad started making ginger water at home after facing heart health issues, and our family quickly fell in love with it. Soon friends were asking for it too, and I realized it could become something bigger. After a few years of experimenting, refining the recipe, and learning how to bring a product to market, I launched Ginger Water in September 2025. What began as a personal family solution has grown into a brand I’m incredibly proud of.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering why I started. Ginger Water began as something personal for my family, and seeing it grow into a real brand keeps me going. Entrepreneurship has many challenges, but I see each obstacle as a chance to learn and improve. Knowing that persistence and hard work can turn an idea into something meaningful pushes me to keep moving forward every day.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won the $25,000, I would invest it directly back into growing Ginger Water. The funding would help us develop a new line and expand our offerings, while also allowing us to pursue additional health and quality certifications. These steps would help build trust with customers and open the door to more retail opportunities as we continue growing the brand.
