2020 has been a year of huge changes, and we are looking to keep up by bringing in new voices to The Mind Body Project family. As such, we have launched a Board of Advisors for more support and input on future programs. We have also welcomed UVA undergrad and fellow entrepreneur, Kurien Thomas, to the team, and look forward to his energy and insights!
Kurien Thomas is a student at the University of Virginia studying Public Policy and Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship. He is passionate about building mental resilience tools that foster entrepreneurial communities. Kurien runs a company that delivers virtual mental health toolkits called Pick-Me-Up, and he also hosts his own community development podcast called SeroTunein. Both of these experiences have fueled his obsession with content creation and digital storytelling. Aside from TMBP, Kurien loves to travel, play the guitar, vlog, and play golf.
We look forward to bringing lots of new perspectives and insights into our programs in 2021 with this team.
