We consider our clients to be family, so we want you to meet ours!  The Arryved Family Spotlight will give you a peek behind the curtain so you can get to know the people behind your Point of Service!  This week, meet Kalin from the Support Team.

What is your favorite part of working for Arryved?

My colleagues! I’m so grateful to be a part of a company that works so hard to uplift their customers, the team, and each other.  Despite the challenges put on our path, we’ve managed to work hard, accomplish much, and still support one another in this difficult time. During isolation, we all need a strong support system, and Arryved has been able to continue that spirit effortlessly in the face of social distancing. I look forward to the day when we’ll share a beer and hugs!

Interesting fact about you?

My first “pet” was a Blue Jay. I was 4 years old and found him sleeping in my yard. He let me pick him up, and was calm as I brought him to my very surprised mom. The bird seemed healthy and because he could fly, my parents released him. A few days later, when I was playing outside, he landed right in front of me and cawed. From then on, Harold the Blue Jay, came and went as he pleased as an adopted family member. I loved that he stayed a little wild even though he found a human family and is certainly the source of my love for birds.

What is your desert island beverage?

Do you have a work from home pet peeve? 

Landscaping. Apparently the best time to mow, leaf blow, or weed wack is during a customer training.

What do you do to stay sane? 

Before covid, I was volunteering at a local bird of prey rescue and education center. I cannot wait to be able to return and continue working with these amazing creatures! In the meantime, I’ve had to get my birding hobby fulfilled with bird watching. Colorado is a beautiful place with an abundance of wildlife to enjoy!  I make sure to take my binoculars and an audubon guide with every hike.
