We’re a startup, so you’ll get some amazing cross-functional experience ranging from marketing & sales to PR & creative to business strategy.

This opportunity will include a good amount of customer interactions in sales environments, which we’d expect interns to be or grow comfortable with — you’ll become a true representative of the brand! 

You can expect to receive direct mentorship from our founding team and as much business-based exposure as you want to absorb! We’re looking forward to meeting some great students.

Qualifications:
