Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My greatest inspiration is my mother. I left my job to care for her during her battle with lung cancer, and that experience showed me how difficult it can be for patients to access basic healthcare services. After she passed in 2016, I founded Vitals N Veins LLC to bring lab services directly to patients and help families facing similar challenges.

How do you stay motivated?

Staying motivated comes from remembering why I started. After caring for my mother during her battle with lung cancer, I saw how hard it was for patients to access basic healthcare services. Building Vitals N Veins LLC allows me to help people who may otherwise struggle to receive care. Every patient I serve reminds me that this work truly makes a difference.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If awarded the $25,000, I would invest it into expanding Vitals N Veins LLC by purchasing additional mobile equipment, upgrading technology for patient scheduling and records, and increasing community outreach. This funding would allow us to serve more patients, reduce barriers to healthcare access, and strengthen partnerships with local providers across the Tennessee Valley.
