After leaving Wodify early in the pandemic, I decided to embark on the new adventure of small business ownership. It was no small challenge overcoming pandemic-related obstacles to see the store through from conception to a fully built out and operational store, but it was a rewarding experience. In 2024 I decided to sell the store to focus on other career and business ambitions.

Wodify is a cloud-based platform designed to give CrossFit coaches and athletes a competitive edge. Wodify replaces the traditional whiteboard, spreadsheets, workout journals, manual class scheduling and tedious billing process with a single digital solution that puts comprehensive management and athlete tracking tools into a single browser window or mobile app. We are enjoyed by 500,000 athletes in gyms across 90 countries - and looking to expand into other markets very soon.I collaborate with the sales, marketing, and executive teams to steer the long-term development and perception of the Wodify brand. My most recent project involved conceptualizing, organizing, and launching a partnership with Myzone and seeing it through to product release. I also oversaw the sales, marketing, and support strategies during the rollout of this partnership.

In this role I focused on leading the entire customer experience including sales, onboarding, and support - even touching feature conception. My goal was to ensure we are providing a world class customer experience during any touchpoint we have. To accomplish this I leveraged the leadership, industry, and interpersonal skills I was able to develop from my previous roles at Wodify.

In this role I was promoted to a leadership position and specialized in educating consumers about our software and its role in their gym, as well as helped foster strategic partnerships to grow the Wodify brand. This role really allowed me to cut my teeth on the management side while still staying actively engaged with customers and prospects on a daily basis.

I started at Wodify in a sales capacity, educating consumers on Wodify's features and hopefully converting the prospect to a customer. Here I honed my sales skills by starting with cold calling and eventually growing into a full end-to-end sales specialist. In this role I was able to build on my natural instincts to learn more specialized skills in sales and business.

This role afforded me a great opportunity to learn customer service in the face of adversity. In this case the customers were fellow veterans looking for guidance through their benefits claim process. Often times the customer was distraught and frustrated with the system so this was a great opportunity to learn how to keep a positive attitude and focus on trying to solve problems with a customer that had lost confidence in the system.
