Shavon Greene is the proud owner and lead tailor at SG Tailoring Studio. With 17 years of professional experience in the world of tailoring, she has honed her craft to provide her customers with exceptional alterations and custom tailoring services. “My sewing journey began at the tender age of 10, where a simple curiosity turned into a lifelong passion,” she said. “Growing up, I spent countless hours with needle and thread, creating and mending clothes. At 18, I took my first professional step into the world of tailoring by working at a charming little sewing shop in Barre, Vermont. It was here that I had the privilege of learning from an incredibly talented tailor who mentored me and helped refine my skills.” In her spare time, Shavon enjoys weightlifting and spending time with her children, Raiden and Rose.

Emma Weddington is a new coach at Washington Park CrossFit, and they are very excited to have her! She was born and raised Floridian and moved to Winston-Salem from Phoenix, Arizona after six years while her husband served in the Air Force. Out there, they grew their family with the addition of their crazy little man, Nash. Before finding CrossFit, Emma played soccer through high school and then ran marathons. Once she found CrossFit, she’s never looked back. CrossFit changed her life in so many ways including where she met her husband. She was able to compete highly in some CrossFit events qualifying for Granite Games and Wodapalooza and found her love for coaching. She has been coaching the last six years, and has coached all sorts of ages ranging from CrossFit kids and teens to adult classes. Emma enjoys being a very hands-on coach, always happy to give advice on workouts from her point of view and being very loud. A few of her favorite movements are the clean and jerk, HSPU and wallballs. In her free time, you can catch Emma enjoying life with her family, most likely chasing Nash around the park, reading a new book or practicing her double-bladed lightsaber moves in her backyard. She loves Star Wars and will definitely talk about it!
