Jessica Phillips Parts Sales Representative, Four Seasons
How did you get started in the tanning industry?
In 2019, I was working in a local factory, long shifts and most weekends. I had a hard time balancing family and work and was missing out on precious moments. I knew I wanted a change, so I did some looking and found Four Seasons – a great company that cares about family. Now, I have a job that I love with some pretty amazing people, and I can grow within the company.
What was your very first job?
I set tobacco for a local farmer just up the road from where I grew up. I did that for a few summers.
What advice would you have given 17-year-old Jessica?
I would have told her to listen and be patient. Life is tough, but a positive outlook will create a great canvas for your journey.
If you could eat only one meal for the rest of your life, what would you choose?
I would eat a steak, green beans, and mashed potatoes with gravy.
If you could choose to do anything you want for a day, what would it be?
I would spend a day relaxing in the Caribbean.
What is one of your biggest pet peeves?
I can’t stand watching people chew with their mouth open or hearing them smack … gross!
How would your friends describe you?
Here is the response I got to this question: Honest, friendly, loyal, devoted, pure, adventurous, active, loving, kind and kind-hearted, strong, giving, selfless, beautiful, humble and funny. (Thank you!)
