Stefani Schuetz, 30

When Stefani Schuetz was diagnosed with melanoma, she didn’t know it could kill people. “I don’t want anyone else to be as blindsided as me,” she says.

That's why Schuetz started Tri Sirena in 2015, to educate people and protect them from the sun. It’s a company that designs and sells sun-protective performance apparel for people to wear during triathlons, swimming, cycling and running.

As a melanoma survivor, Schuetz wants to continue to introduce new products, expanding her line so she can accommodate everyone who does activities in the sun. “It is always awesome to be able to give people more sun protective options,” she says.
