Kara Willingham
Support & Training Manager FIT Bodywrap
How did you get into the tanning industry?
Throughout my career, I have managed a number of spas and salons. So, when I saw that FIT Bodywrap was looking for a Support and Training Manager I welcomed the opportunity to work with a company that is involved in the beauty industry and also focuses on the health and wellness of their customers!
What is the best thing about your job?
Since joining the FIT Bodywrap team, I have had the opportunity to work with awesome leaders who are truly invested in the success of our customers which is an inspiring and enjoyable environment to be in.
What do you do in your spare time?
You can find me practicing yoga, listening to music and cooking delicious food!
What’s your “pet peeve?”
Close-mindedness. I think it’s important to always stay open, flexible and positive in life as well as business in order to be happy and healthy. One of my favorite quotes from Thich Nhat Hanh is “We have to continue to learn. We have to be open. And we have to be ready to release our knowledge in order to come to a higher understanding of reality.”
What’s your favorite food?
Guacamole … and yes, I know it’s “extra.”
What’s your favorite TV show?
I don’t watch much TV, but I have been listening to a lot of podcasts, especially on my daily drive to the office. One that I have really taken an interest in is called Serial. If you haven’t heard it yet, you should check it out!
What’s at the top of your “Bucket List?”
I love traveling and one place I have always wanted to go is Egypt to see the pyramids. My interest began when I was in elementary school when we studied them. I have wanted to go ever since!
