Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Children are my greatest inspiration, especially my own child. As a chemical engineer, I experienced science taught without joy. I believe all learning should be “sticky”...hands-on, fun, and confidence-building. Through SLiMEOLOGY, we spark creativity and show kids they are capable. When a child believes “I can do this,” they don’t just learn, they dream bigger. That confidence has the power to shape their future and make for a happier world.

How do you stay motivated?

I’m driven by our impact - smiling children, happy parents, inspired team members, and thriving franchisees. Every smile we create is a reminder that what we are building matters. Together, we’re creating something far bigger than slime. We’re building confidence, sparking joy, and making the world a happier place, one SLiMEOLOGiST at a time!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Our franchisees are growing rapidly, and demand for materials is outpacing supply. With $25,000, we’d invest in local manufacturing of safer glues, improved pigments, and sensory-safe products. This strengthens support for franchisees, gives them peace of mind, and enables us to expand our joy-driven, hands-on science experiences nationwide; bringing safe, creative learning to kids everywhere!
