FOOD SAFETY AND QUALITY VR TRAINING

I had the incredible opportunity to work on a project with the World Food Programme (WFP) in Mozambique, focused on training field monitors in Food Quality and Safety using Virtual Reality (VR). I was responsible for creating the VR experience from scratch, which included capturing real footage in the field. The goal was to give monitors a hands-on way to practice food safety procedures in a realistic yet safe environment. This project helped improve their training and made a real impact on food security operations.

Tools: 360 camera, NearLife software, Oculus VR

PRESENTATION SKILLS VR TRAINING

I had the chance to work with the World Food Programme (WFP) in South Sudan and Kenya on a fun project where we used Virtual Reality (VR) to help staff improve their presentation skills. My role was to introduce and guide the team through using VR, making the training more interactive and engaging. It was amazing to see how practicing in a realistic virtual environment helped staff build confidence and communication skills for their important work.
