Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business is Jesus Christ and the example of service He showed. He sat with the overlooked, healed the sick, and led with compassion. As the founder of Skinistry, I see myself not only as an esthetician but as a servant in the marketplace. My work is to care for people with hands that bring comfort, restore confidence, and reflect love, integrity, and hope.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering that any day life can change, and I could easily be in the position of those I serve. That perspective keeps my work rooted in compassion and purpose. I’m driven by a desire to see people restored, confident, and thriving. Above all, I follow the example Jesus set to lead with love, humility, and service in everything I do.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the $25,000 into building Skinistry Wellness Lounge, a community-centered space offering restorative skin services, education, and jobs in underserved areas. A key focus would be premium restorative care for those battling cancer or immunocompromised conditions. My vision is a place of healing for the mind, body, and skin where people feel valued, supported, and restored.
