In this episode of Safety Spotlight, Jennifer shares her deeply personal journey from the hardest, hottest, loudest worksites to co-founding a VR company with one mission: to make safety training not just better, but unforgettable. Her philosophy is clear, compliance isn’t enough. If we want people to care, we have to connect on a human level.

“The most foundational element of safety isn’t hazard recognition. It’s self-awareness.”

We explore the emotional side of training, how VR taps into memory through immersive experience, and why she’s so focused on making safety more accessible, especially for small businesses and under-resourced teams.
