10 ANDRIA BEAL “I loved being a student at the Levan Center of Innovation, and I loved everything I learned.” TANGY FREDERICK SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING When I applied, I was already the founder of Cre8tive Devs Software, and I was in the beginning stages of figuring out my nonprofit organization, Regal Unicorn Software Academy. Prior to the program, I had a difficult time separating the two. Afterward, I could clearly differentiate between both entities. Cre8tive pushes the boundaries of what is possible in the metaverse, and with virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (XR), and generative artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize various industries and enhance human interaction with technology. Regal Unicorn Software Academy develops immersive technology, as well as workforce development. We strive to empower people to become proficient in this field, fostering personal growth and employability. We also identify industry needs and collaborate with employers to develop tailored training initiatives. My overall mission with both is to develop fully customized software and provide specialized technical training programs and resources that enable Fortune 500 companies to unlock the full potential of their workforces. Equipping employees with the necessary expertise to adapt to evolving technologies boosts productivity and drives innovation within their organizations. Witnessing the transformation of individuals is immensely satisfying. I also find joy in helping small businesses develop applications using our unique process. It all reinforces my passion for what I do. “The wraparound services at the Levan Center of Innovation are top-notch. The space is expansive, but the community is close-knit. And I love the makerspace.” Scan and train. Scan and care. ONE YEAR LATER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 Since pets cannot talk, we are worse at catching disease in animals than with humans. We have a pet age test on the market that estimates age in dogs and cats (and soon horses and birds) from a mouth swab. When customers discover their pet’s age and life stage, we provide insights into how to care for that pet. Currently, the insights are added to the age reports, but we are developing an online dashboard that is interactive for the customer. Our next product, the health scan biomarker test, will provide pet parents with a biological age score. This tells them how old their pet is for their age. The biological score can be manipulated and changed over time. For example, if we have a five-yearold pet that presents as a seven-year-old because it is unhealthy, we can work to lower the biological score to even make the pet look younger than it is and increase its longevity. The biological age test is meant to monitor health, which means remeasuring often to see how it changes over time. The idea branches out and creates value for several segments of the pet industry, such as early diagnostics and understanding what foods and ingredients help pets live longer. Our business could be a problem-solving powerhouse based on the research we do, along with our health-assessment technology. PET HEALTH CARE
