Thrift Shop Director

Georgia joined the Methodist Thrift Shop team in November 2020. As the Director, she provides leadership to the staff, manages a 60-person volunteer team, manages storage logistics, and ensures the shop is operating smoothly. Originally from Arizona, Georgia moved to Durango in 2019. She brings extensive experience in retail and hospitality management and has worked as a field guide at two wilderness therapy companies, where she developed a deep passion for the outdoors and serving her community. This sense of service aligns with the thrift shop’s mission: Building Community, Changing Lives, and Bringing Hope.
Georgia graduated from Northern Arizona University with a degree in Parks and Recreation Management, which she enjoys applying to her personal life through camping, backpacking, and hiking with her dog Moose in the Durango area. In her free time, she also enjoys spending time with friends, snowboarding, and collaging.
