These experiences made me an expert in planning, coordinating, and handling stressful situations—skills that are incredibly useful when managing something as personal and important as a move, often with one of their biggest assets and investments to consider as well.  That, combined with 8 years in Real Estate has been the perfect combination to build abiRiver into the service it is today!

 

As a medic I found myself advocating for patients and having to think and plan creatively under pressure in order to meet a patients need, especially in rural communities with limitations. While I thrived in that fast paced, high pressure environment, there were still limitations with the help I could provide. 

​

In order to stay ahead of the inevitable burn out that comes with emergency management, I took a sharp turn in career fields and jumped into real estate. This provided me more autonomy in my decision making. This is something I find many of my clients can relate to, and are looking for in their own lives as they go through major life changes. ​

 

It was empowering to be able to use my paramedic skills in a new field. A crisis in real estate aren't life or death, I can advocate for my clients in multiple ways, and communication skills and problem solving come naturally.​​This was the perfect combination of both worlds.

​

It gives me a unique position as their real estate agent, to have a fundamental understanding of health, community resources, mental health and all the services abiRiver brings to make their lives easier. To reduce the stress in a time of their life where they should be enjoying these moments is the foundation of our mission!
