April Employee Spotlight: Suzanne

Meet Suzanne, our HR and Office Administrator! Suzanne has been a Massage Studio team member for a year and a half. She was initially attracted to join Massage Studio because of our dynamic team, which is what still keeps her going today.

1.      What is your role? 

HR/Office Administrator

2.      How long have you been with Massage Studio? 

1.5 yrs.

3.      What made you choose Massage Studio? 

Initially I was interested in the duties and responsibilities of the position. There were several that I'd not yet had the opportunity to experience in depth, which I found exciting. It was during the interview process that I found myself extremely impressed with the Management Team and Business Owner. Professional, friendly, communicative, and seemed to take a genuine interest in learning about me both personally and professionally. My desire to join a dynamic and diverse team took precedence over my interest in expanding my professional experience (which simply became an added bonus). In short, the Massage Studio team was the determining factor in my accepting the position. 

4.      How does the Massage Studio team support you? 

By providing an environment that encourages communication. I have always felt that I have the ability to communicate successes, challenges, new ideas, and suggestions. I value this greatly. 

5.      What’s your favorite part of your job? 

Well, I'd be lying if I didn't say that frequent messages weren't a highlight! Massages aside, I really enjoy the variety of my position, from welcoming new hires to the accounting aspects and everything in between.

6.      Describe your favorite Massage Studio memory. 

I really enjoy when our team is able to get together, so I would have to say the holidays. It can be difficult to get everyone in the same place at the same time, it's great when we have the opportunity especially during such a festive time of year. 

7.      What self-care techniques have you learned since working at Massage Studio? 

Prior to my employment with Massage Studio I really didn't prioritize massage, or self-care in general. Now I've had the opportunity to be able to familiarize myself with the various modalities, their benefits, and the benefits of massage as a whole. It's really quite interesting and I encourage you to take a deep dive into it at some point. Personally, I've found that regular massage really improves my mood, sleep, and physical performance on the track and on the field. 

8.      What do you like to do outside of work? 

I love being outdoors! Running, playing kickball, and fishing are just a few of my hobbies.
