Recently, Find had a new team member join us and we wanted to take a minute to welcome her to our team. 

Elizabeth has joined the management team at Find as the new Retail Supervisor and comes to us with a myriad of experience and enthusiasm. 

Let's learn a little more about her:

What's your name?

Elizabeth Carten

What’s your new role at find?

Retail Supervisor

What drove you to work at find?

Like many others, 2020 has given me an opportunity to do some self reflection. My previous roles were focused on metrics aimed at driving profitable results. But at the end of the day, I lost the feeling that I was making an actual difference. When I saw the opportunity at Find, it resonated with me. I knew that everyday I would be making a difference.

Why is ending homelessness important to you?

I think that a large segment of our community is at risk of experiencing homelessness at any given time. Homelessness could be job loss, a relationship breakdown or a trauma away. When we as a society help people during those difficult times, help them get back on their feet and have a fresh start, we are truly connected. No one should have no where to call home.  

What are you most excited about in your new role?

I’m excited to learn all I can about Homeward Trust and all the supports we have for persons experiencing homelessness, and how I can help make more of a difference.

Why is this your favorite item in the store today?

My favourite item in the store is the “staff picks” wall. Each employee has a section of shelf and choses items they find fascinating or fun. It really shows the personality of each of the team members and always has lots of treasures.

Make sure to say "Hi" when you see her around the store!
