Zachary Shingles Email & Phone Number

Graduated from James Madison College at Michigan State University with a degree in Social Relations and Policies with a focus on minority relations in America. I was first attracted to Exponential Destiny because of its use of XR tech to reach its missions which I believes can help mitigate the disparities I studied in College: Reimagining education, building awareness & empathy for social causes, and upskilling youth in low income communities. I have worked to learn as much as I can about creating in VR, and as a result I have managed several projects to create PoC of VR experiences for schools and commercial clients alike. My objective is to continue to create VR experiences that educate and build awareness, and to upskill others by training them how to do so as well.I have worked on several client projects consulting on the use of VR with businesses across several sectors; financial services, health insurance, consumer products, and entertainment. I often work as a lead and have even managed projects. I have worked with multiple schools to create proof of concept VR pilot lessons, where Exponential Destiny both delivers a VR experience as well as trains students and teachers how to use VR platforms to create their own. I managed my own project for a school in Chicago, which now has their own VR class, taught by one of the teachers we trained help make the school self-sufficient after our project.The Exponential Destiny Team and I delivered the opening keynote focused on the “Metaverse for SDGs” at the "Digital Transformation" ITU summit in Geneva, Switzerland.
