Carolyn
Administrative Assistant
My name is Carolyn Rennie and I am the Administrative Assistant at Red Road Recovery. I really enjoy the tranquil atmosphere here and the view of the Shuswap Lake out of my window at work. I used to live a really chaotic life in Toronto full of workaholism and drug addiction. In 2017 I made the best decision of my life and moved out to Salmon Arm BC. Here, I’ve found a way to make a work/life balance and focus on the things that really matter.
I am blessed to get the chance to work with other recovering addicts and alcoholics. I myself have been clean since September 2018. There is something really special about addicts helping other addicts and I appreciate that all staff members have experience in recovery to be able to share their stories with the clients.
My background, and Masters of Science, is in meteorology (the study of weather). I’m able to use the computer and analytical skills I’ve learned and adapt them to my admin work at Red Road. Back in Toronto, I ran a company studying catastrophes for the insurance industry. Moving here, I got into insurance and then worked as the Executive Director for the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce. Working at my past jobs I’ve learned a lot about how businesses run, social media, marketing, event planning and how to help businesses succeed. I am so honoured to have this opportunity to work with Red Road Recovery.
