👋🏼  How would you explain your job to someone outside tech?

MindFi provides Mental Health and Wellbeing Solutions to corporations. My job is to design these solutions! This could mean creating content, organizing community events, recruiting psychologists, counselors and coaches to our network, or even designing programs for specific clients to meet their wellness needs and goals.

🧐  What's something about you or your job that would surprise us?

When I'm not working on MindFi and talking all things Mental Health, you can find me dancing!

Two things: Dance & Mental Health.
