Age: 37 | Career: Author, speaker, Co-Owner of Gilles Deluxe Properties LLC and Campus Executive Director at Sumter Senior Living
My motivation: What drives me most is my faith, my family, and the belief that God has given me a purpose bigger than myself. Every day is an opportunity to serve, whether it’s my residents, my team, my sons or my community. That responsibility fuels me to keep showing up with passion and excellence. Fun fact: I was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and moved to the U.S. as a child. I still speak Haitian Creole fluently and love blending my cultural roots into everything I do, whether it’s fashion, community events or even the names of my businesses.

My legacy: I hope our work leaves a mark of lasting beauty and rejuvenation in our community. We’re not just selling paint; we’re transforming homes into spaces that reflect our customers’ visions and satisfaction. I also hope our dedication and craftsmanship show the next generation that painting is a skilled and valuable trade worth pursuing.
Fun fact: I find inspiration for leadership in the most unexpected places. Sometimes it’s from a Bible verse, sometimes from a 6-yearold’s question, my husband and family and often from the patients and families I serve.
What drives me: My biggest motivation comes from my family, from being a mom and newlywed. Wanting to support and build a good life for them is what drives me to give my best every single day.
My legacy: I hope my leadership shows that healthcare can be both compassionate and innovative. I want to leave a legacy of raising the standard of care in my community and inspiring the next generation to lead with courage, integrity and heart.
Fun fact: I love working with horses. They’ve always been a big part of my life and something that brings me peace.
