Director, Sales

@ Wondermind

(New York, NY)

About Wondermind:

We’ve each had our own mental health struggles, and we realized there was no inclusive, fun, and easy place where people could come together to explore, discuss, and navigate their feelings. To us, mental fitness means creating a routine; working through your feelings to better understand your mind—with the right tools and community to support growth. It means committing to a daily practice, even when you feel out of your comfort zone (which shows it’s working!). So we are creating a space to work it all out every day with candid conversations, physical tools, daily content, and a supportive community.
