Abrianna stays on the go with her real estate clients and volunteer work with a local advocacy center but ensures she balances her life with lots of time with family and friends. Abrianna and her family enjoy exploring the downtown areas throughout the Upstate, shopping for fresh flowers, food, and crafts at the Saturday Farmer’s Market in Greenville.
