What is Entrepreneur of Impact?
Learn MoreMy inspiration came from years in healthcare where I saw firsthand how life-saving knowledge can change outcomes. I built ResQ First Aid to train communities in critical skills and to create a business that also gives back and supports others moving forward.
How do you stay motivated?I stay motivated by the impact. Every month we help people in our community, and seeing the difference that support makes in someone’s life keeps me going and reminds me why I started.
What would you do with the $25,000?I wouldn’t see the $25,000 as a reward—I’d see it as fuel. Through my business, I’ve built the Push Forward Collective, an initiative focused on supporting people who are putting in the effort but can’t get ahead. This funding would go directly into that work—covering real-life essential needs—paid directly to providers so it creates immediate, measurable impact. It’s about turning effort into opportunity.
