Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
My journey from loss to purpose led me to establish Unique Candle Co., driven by a poignant loss and a fervent desire to effect meaningful change. Witnessing my grandmother’s struggle with cancer and its impact on her mental health after chemotherapy was the catalyst for this transformation.
The pivotal moment struck on January 10, 2007, when my grandmother passed away. This profound loss ignited a commitment within me to contribute significantly to the medical field despite the precise path not being immediately clear. I felt an innate calling to assist others and make a positive impact.
