Tampa Employee Spotlight: Kyra W.
Meet Kyra, one of our incredible Guest Coordinators from our Tampa location! Kyra is a great asset to our team and we always appreciate her hard work and dedication to helping our guests and fellow Massage Studio team members. We recently asked Kyra a few questions about her Massage Studio experience, and why she loves her job:
How long have you been in the massage industry, and how long specifically with Massage Studio?
Massage Studio is my first job in the massage industry and I've been here for about 9 months now.
What inspired you to start a career in massage?
One of my goals in life is to help people. This job allows me to help schedule people for massages when they are in pain. While I'm not the one doing the actual massage, I help by recommending therapists that can help our guests with specific concerns they may have, tailoring their Massage Studio experience.
What are some of your specific day-to-day responsibilities?
Aside from helping our guests schedule their appointments, I facilitate the check-in process to ensure guests are happy with their visit. The most important part of my job is that I am the first person our guests see when they come in, so I always try to be very welcoming and friendly when greeting them.
What’s your favorite part of your job?
I enjoy seeing the aftermath of how people feel once they get a massage. It’s nice to see people feel relaxed and relieved after coming in with so much pain.
What made you choose Massage Studio?
The interview process showed how much Massage Studio truly cared about me as a person. They were very welcoming and treated me like family. I knew that becoming a part of their team was the best option for me and it definitely felt like home.
How has Massage Studio supported your career goals?
My future career goal will hopefully involve me working with people and I have gained so much experience and understanding while working here. I learn something new every day whether it be about properly solving a guests’ issue or understanding the managerial aspect of the business.
What do you like to do outside of work?
I love spontaneous adventures and trying new things. Most of the time I am with my friends at the beach or spending time with my kitten Honey.
If you could only take one item to a deserted island, what would it be?
The one item I would take with me on a deserted island would definitely be a satellite phone so I could call someone to come get me as I do not know how I would survive out there.
What have you learned from working at Massage Studio?
Before coming to Massage Studio, I was really shy and didn’t know how to talk to guests or connect with them. I have grown to be more confident in myself and have become less shy. I constantly want to be better and learn more and Massage Studio has definitely taught me how to do that.
