Thrift Store Assistant Manager
I’m so happy to be part of the Thrift & Fund Store family. Moving from Iran to Canada was a big change, but it gave me the chance to grow, learn, and connect with a new community.
I’m a naturally positive and energetic person. I love meeting new people, creating meaningful connections, and helping others feel welcome. Sustainability, creativity, and community service have always been close to my heart.
At Thrift & Fund, I create social media content, highlight our volunteers and events, and showcase the treasures in our store. My goal is to make our store feel not just like a place to shop, but a warm and inspiring space where everyone belongs.
Being part of Thrift & Fund is more than a job for me — it’s a chance to spread positivity, celebrate community, and show that second-hand can be first choice.
