I started at a rental branch in our Kentucky operations as a Management Trainee, which I loved because it was a pretty busy branch so I learned my role very quickly.

After a short time at the airport, the position for Account Specialist in our Truck Rental business opened and I was promoted to that role. .I have since been promoted to Assistant Branch Manager in our Kentucky Truck Rental operations.

Tell us about your experience swimming in London and Beijing:
Beijing (’08) was one of the best experiences of my life. Since my big goal for the year was making the team, once I was on the team and in Beijing I could truly enjoy it. From the opening, to my race to the goodbye, everything was a one-of-a-kind experience. China was very prepared to run the event and I felt like everyone was there to see you and cheer you on.
My second experience in London was very different. Of course, it was still magical to be there and be surrounded by all of the talented athletes. But, I was just not happy to be there this time, my mindset was more on the outcome of my performance. I still enjoyed the experience immensely and am proud to have been able to represent my country!
