Celebrate IMW With Goodly!

 J.May's first name is Jessica, but since there are actually three Jessica's on the Goodly team, a couple of them had to find new work handles. 

 

She's the quietest member of the Goodly team, but we've heard that the key to good communication is brevity. "My favorite part of the job is seeing our small but mighty team bring creative ideas to life," Ashley says.

Outside of work she likes to watch sports, hang out at the beach, and sleep!

 

 

 

Meet Jessica #1! "My favorite part about this job is that I am given free reign to explore my creativity both digitally and physically," Jess says.

 "Outside of work I love traveling, hunkering down with a good book (paired with a glass of wine), a little sun, a lot of water, and outdoor jaunts with my family and pooch."

 

 

Katie says, "my favorite part about this job is the teamwork vibe. As the saying goes, team work makes the dream work. Our team continues to prove, again and again, that great things are possible when we work together. We each have our own skills that we bring to the table, and are given opportunities to improve these  skills, as well as gain new skills. We acknowledge and celebrate one another's contributions, and there is an overall wonderful feeling of connectedness."

Outside of work, you'll most likely find Katie out on the trail. "One of my favorite hobbies is hiking. There are several hiking trails near the warehouse that I can go to after work to get a good dose of nature, fresh air, movement, and mental clarity."

 

What does Josette love about Goodly? "The same value, acceptance and appreciation we give to our customers is shared in the workplace. It’s a very collaborative, all-hands-on-board and empowering work environment/culture.  Also, being a mom, the flexibility and support we have to do what we need to do as a parent to be easily accessible and available for our families - sick kids, school drop offs & pick ups, doctor appts, sport games, etc - is priceless."

Outside of work, "Dance is my life. My heart. My vitality. Choreography in the studio or cuttin' it up on the dance floor - it's my happy place." She also loves watching her kids play soccer. "I'm 100% all in it (that competitive spirit), but at least refraining from being obnoxious!"

 

Kathy says her favorite part of the job is collaborating with so many different people on so many different projects. "Before I was the copywriter here, I worked in fulfillment and as Ashley’s buying assistant. We’re all creative problem solvers and it’s so much fun to work with people who you know will help elevate your ideas, and knowing you want to do the same for them."

Outside of work you can find Kathy in the gym or out on a trail, running and mountain biking. Also, "I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie so I’ve tried skydiving, jumping off tall buildings and love solo travel."

 

"My favorite part of my job is that I'm able to do most of it remotely," Jay says. "In my case, being neurodivergent means the office environment is distracting and anxiety-inducing. Being comfortable in my own space while working has been a game changer for my productivity, and I have so much more mental energy left at the end of the day! Plus it means that I get to spend more quality time with my birds -- so I'm sure it's their favorite aspect of my job too."

Outside of work you can find them rock climbing. "I have an intense fear of heights and rheumatoid arthritis so this hobby doesn't seem like a natural fit... but it's actually been very healing! Climbing forces me to face my fears and push past my anxiety on the wall. More importantly, it gives me the confidence to explore other things I think I can't do. If I can climb after my diagnosis, then there's a whole host of other "impossible" things for me to try!"

 

Kylie says she loves seeing how creative our entire team is. "Everyone has their own type of magic whether it's related to something they do at work or a hobby outside of the office. Everyone is so supportive of each other's passions and we all encourage each other to keep creating!"

Outside of work, Kylie likes to spend as much time outside as she can. "That tends to involve hiking, backpacking, staring at birds, or maybe picking up some cool looking rocks. I also enjoy trying out local breweries and wineries for some tasty drinks and food with friends."

 

Owner and CEO Brooke likes to keep a low profile, but how could we not include her? She's the heart of what makes Goodly so special! Our whole "Goodly vibe" begins with Brooke.

Outside of work, we think Brooke is secretly Batman. Mind you, we're not saying that Brooke is Batman. We're just saying that we've never seen Brooke and Batman in the same spot at the same time.
