Hometown: Charlton
Occupation: Company driver
Company: Dennison Lubricants

“I’m a very real individual and I like to just be me. I’m comfortable with who I am and all my strengths and I can do this job well while being a pretty female.”

When did you get into trucking?
I am 29 years old and have only been driving for about 2 years. I have had my license for about 5 years now. It took me a few years to find just the right job. I absolutely love my job, I mainly work in New England. I do plan on getting an over-the-road job once I have more experience so I can see the country.

What makes you beautiful?
I wouldn’t exactly say I am the most beautiful trucker driver, but I do feel I have some really good qualities that will make me a great candidate. I have a very outgoing personality and I am genuine. I care for others’ well being. I love being around people and I always try to include everyone and make them feel welcome in any situation. I tend to put others first before my own needs.
