Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from the communities I serve—especially those who have been overlooked, unheard, or underserved. Living with PCOS and experiencing gaps in care firsthand pushed me to build solutions that didn’t exist. I’m also inspired by legacy builders—people who create opportunities not just for themselves, but for generations to come. My work is driven by the belief that business should create access, equity, and lasting change.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering that what I’m building is bigger than me. Every program, event, or resource we create has the potential to change someone’s life. On the hard days, I go back to the impact—the messages from people who finally feel seen, supported, or understood. I also stay grounded in my vision of building a legacy that creates opportunities for my family and my community for years to come.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the $25,000 into expanding access to resources for underserved communities, particularly those affected by PCOS. This includes enhancing our digital tools to help people find care faster, scaling our education and support programs, and increasing outreach to communities that often go without answers for years. The goal is simple: reduce barriers, accelerate diagnosis, and ensure no one has to navigate their journey alone.
