"Everyone should have the right to learn and be educated."
She envisions safe, inclusive virtual spaces where students from all walks of life can access knowledge. This isn't just innovation; it's a profound act of democratizing education on a global scale.
Can VR Cultivate Real-World Empathy?
Jess brilliantly explores how immersive technology can cultivate something desperately needed in our world: empathy. She plans to use VR to bring environmental challenges to life, allowing us to feel the impact of issues like climate change.

Her vision extends to supporting neurodiversity. Jess proposes AI-powered personal assistants for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), tools designed to enhance understanding and provide tailored support.
