We are pleased to introduce you
to Carrie Glowacki
Meet Carrie Glowacki, our Community Care Consultant for Central and Western Canada. Carrie, born in Winnipeg, has been with Manrex for over 15 years now and is a valuable asset to our team. She first began as Receptionist, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and In-service Coordinator... this was all one job back then. From this position(s) she moved to Order Desk and finally into the Sales Department. Her favourite thing about Manrex is the people.
Carrie's husband, Lucas, and greatest accomplishment, her four children, Jacob, Katarina, Thomas and Michael, keep her very busy on a daily basis. She's a bit of an insomniac and usually cleans her house between 2:00am and 4:00am a few nights per week. "This is why my house is usually clean but rarely vacuumed," says Carrie.
Carrie says the best way to spend a weekend is in Vegas and says it's not spring until the snow is gone. She hopes someday to own her dream car, a Cadillac CTS. Her favourite Winnipeg restaurant is the River Mandarin and her favourite Winnipeg attraction is the Assiniboine Park.
