Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration came from surviving cancer and rebuilding my life from the ground up. During treatment I saw how illness, stress, and skin health affect confidence and identity. I created CW Skin Clinic to be more than a skincare business—it’s a place where science, compassion, and education help people restore confidence in their skin and themselves.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by turning hardship into purpose. Building my business while surviving cancer and raising a family taught me resilience and grit. Every client who regains confidence reminds me why this work matters. I’m driven to create impact not only through skincare, but by educating others, uplifting my community, and proving that adversity can become a powerful foundation for entrepreneurship.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Surviving cancer forced me to rebuild my life and business from the ground up. This funding would help stabilize CW Skin Clinic by paying down illness-related debt, securing reliable transportation so I can continue serving clients, upgrading clinical skincare equipment, and expanding outreach through vehicle advertising. My goal is to grow a resilient business that restores confidence, creates opportunity, and brings high-quality skin health services to more people in my community.
