Community mentoring

Beyond the lecture room

Community upliftment through sport.

Jessica supports young people through karate training, with attention to discipline, focus, motor skills and emotional regulation. She is particularly interested in how structured physical learning can help students who face ADHD, dyslexia and other learning difficulties.

“If students can learn complex skills in this environment, what barriers can we remove to make education more inclusive and empowering?”
