Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I believe everyone is able to become a better version of themselves. I created Soulshine to be a welcoming space where people of all levels can move, grow, and feel supported. Through fitness, mindfulness, and community, Soulshine encourages people to reconnect with themselves, build confidence, and let their inner light shine.

How do you stay motivated?

I remember why I started and how far I’ve come. When I see this community come together for not only themselves but for each other is truly inspiring! I think about the students whose lives have been improved through my classes and community.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If Soulshine received funding, it would be reinvested into expanding our offerings and developing a new wellness facility. The vision is to create a space where fitness, recovery, and holistic wellness come together—offering classes, workshops, and services that support both physical and mental wellbeing. This investment would allow us to serve more people in the community and continue building a space where individuals feel stronger, supported, and inspired.
