Krista Pawley is a tri-sector leader who connects people and organizations across 56+ countries to catalyze sustainable, inclusive impact.

Pawley shares her thoughts on how digital platforms like Wavemakers can equip students with vital skills for a rapidly changing job market by removing barriers to meaningful work experiences.
Highlights from our conversation include:
1. Through tools like virtual reality and partnerships with equity-deserving communities, Wavemakers creates inclusive and welcoming environments, ensuring that students can bring their whole selves into their experiences.
