Inspired by a personal health scare her husband experienced abroad, she transformed a simple observation into a breakthrough concept—fashionable apparel embedded with sustainable, high-performance filtration. Drawing from childhood memories of crafting scarves in Costa Rica, she reimagined protective gear as stylish, everyday wear. This vision led to the creation of the first patented G95 filtration material, a washable, reusable alternative aimed at becoming the sustainable counterpart to the N95 standard.

Her journey was defined by persistence, innovation, and a deep commitment to environmental responsibility. From overcoming industry skepticism to building a filtration material manufacturers said was impossible, she stayed anchored in her mission to solve real-world problems with purpose-driven design. Today, she champions sustainable innovation and encourages emerging entrepreneurs to test their ideas, build lean, and trust their conviction—because meaningful breakthroughs begin long before the world understands their value.
