Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Both of my parents are entrepreneurs and despite pursuing an undergraduate in engineering, I’ve always had the drive for hustling and making something of my own. They have inspired me just by being very hard working people and always wanting more for themselves without even realizing.

How do you stay motivated?

Knowing where I want to be and my genuine love for what I do helps me stay motivated. There are times where I feel burnt out, discouraged or defeated and in moments like this, my faith in God keeps me grounded, reminds me of who I am, and helps me keep going.

What would you do with the $25,000?

$25,000 would be a complete game changer for me. As a 21 year old, I have the biggest dreams and one of them is to open a salon and finally upgrade my business by taking it out of my home. With this, I’m able to expand my clientele, create a more comfortable environment for customers, and give my business the professional confidence it deserves. By crossing this bridge, my goals are expedited and I’m able to hopefully start working towards my other dreams of opening multiple salons.
