I am an extremely hard working little lady in the oilfield. I have been hauling water since I was 21 years old. I got my CDL through Climb, a Wyoming program to help single mothers to better their lives! I have loved driving truck since the beginning and can’t see myself doing anything else. I am 25 years old now and I have been able to accomplish so much more than I ever could of imagined over the past three years because of my choice in career!
