About the Guest: Jess Munro is an energetic design thinker known for her innovative approach at Stanford's D School. She played a pivotal role mentoring students in the "Design for Extreme Affordability" class, where teams tackled real-world challenges. One memorable project sent students to rural Nepal to address high infant mortality rates among low birth weight babies. Instead of simply designing cheaper incubators, Jess's team learned that the real problem was access: babies were born far from clinics, making the journey to the city center impossible. Jess's work embodies the spirit of design thinking—rooted in empathy, discovery, and creative problem-solving—driven by hands-on experiences and surprising insights that lead to impactful solutions.

Inspired by this revelation, Bethany embraced her calling with renewed courage, confidently walking through the doors God opened for her and taking bold next steps in her journey.
