Since 2016, I'm working with higher education institutions for VR/AR engineering and development. Since then, the number of women learning VR/AR has been incredibly low - making them miss out on many opportunities and a high growth sector. My mission is to making tech and learning more accessible through the development of shorter and part-time programs. I'm looking forward to connecting with many women in the sector and supporting anyone to advance in their careers. - Rahel
