Legistlative Journal:
Aubrey Byrne saw an opportunity and ran with it. As a mom of two young children, she found herself juggling the need to bring home a salary and the flexibility required to raise her family.
Three years ago at a Chugiak-Eagle River Women in Business network meeting members put the word out that they were looking for someone to do their medical office billing – and Byrne’s ears perked up.
“I thought, ‘Hmmm, that’s sounds like something that could be a good opportunity,'” she said.
Byrne already ran a small bookkeeping business; she has a knack for numbers and an entrepreneurial spirit. She opened Eagle River Medical Billing with one client in 2006 – a professional counselor who had a pretty straightforward billing system.
Byrne has lived in Eagle River with her husband, Brent, and two children, 4-year-old daughter, Akela, and toddler son, Blaze, for four years.
“I can work when my kids go to bed or I work when my husband is home,” Byrne said.
