Join podcasters Phoebe, Issi, Dimi and Audrey as they interview Korovian Jess Carson (Class of 2018) about her time volunteering in Fiji with her partner Alex. Jess is passionate about combatting period poverty, through creating opportunities for those in need of menstrual products. In 2022, Jess was a member of an NGO named “Involvement Volunteers International”, and she works closely with Luvu HART (Housing and Assistance Relief Trust). Jess is also the inaugural recipient of the Korovian Fellowship Grant, which provides Korovians with $5000 to pursue altruistic projects.  

Moreover, Jess discusses about her firsthand experiences of battling the stigma around menstruation. She talks about why she started her journey of service and how Korowa prepared her for her future endeavours, as well as providing advice for any individuals thinking about pursuing service efforts.
