Store manager of Thrift & Fund Burquitlam

renae@lowentropy.org

I'm originally from Australia with an Italian and Scottish background. I have a bachelor degree in psychology with a minor in social work.
I've been a successful manager for over ten years with proven results, have a flair for merchandising and creating an organised, well run, inclusive and positive work environment for staff and volunteers.
I love finding treasures at thrift stores and antique markets. I enjoy photography, astrology, gardening, the beach and a good coffee.
Also enjoy watching and attending wrestling events such as WWE & AEW and am forever stuck in the 90s and 2000s! :)

I have always wanted to be able to help others, to make a difference and better the lives of others, so I am extremely grateful to be in a position where I can make a difference and somewhere that my genuine care and compassion for others is part of my job.

Looking forward to the future of Low Entropy and taking the Thrift & Fund store to even bigger success!
