Jessica Smith: Her COVVI Journey - Part 1 - The First Appointment

In January 2022, we welcomed Jessica Smith as a COVVI Advocate and she started her journey to be fitted for her first prosthetic device in over two decades. She has an incredible story of triumphs and tribulations. Born missing her left arm, then suffering a horrific accident when she was a toddler where she sustained burns to 15% of her body, she defied odds and went on to represent her country in the sport of swimming for seven years, culminating in her selection onto the Australian Paralympic team in 2004.

Jessica is documenting her personal journey to be fitted with a COVVI Hand, from start to finish. We hope that this video series helps others to understand the process and procedures required to prepare for a life with a bionic hand.

Jessica Smith OAM is a former Australian Paralympic Swimmer, the COO at TOUCH Talent Management and Consultancy, a public & motivational speaker and children’s author.
