Courtney started her journey at Crystal Clean as a Branch Clerical in Dallas until she made the transition to become an SSR in Fort Worth. Her reasoning to wanting to become an SSR stems from her desire to help the people around her.

Courtney lives out many of Crystal Clean’s values every day. Some of the most notable that make an impact in her day-to-day activities are accountability, respect, and safety. Being accountable is crucial for the environmental industry. Managing customer waste streams is something that our SSR’s deal with every day. Once this waste is moved onto our trucks it becomes our responsibility and the accountability of our employees is what ensures the waste is properly managed.
Courtney stated, “You have to be accountable for your route and the image you present. From start to finish, we represent Crystal Clean through ourselves and our work”.
Respect is a value she holds in high regard as she always wants to help make people’s days better whenever possible. She said, “It is important to respect your coworkers, customers and the company itself”.
What might be the most important value to Courtney is safety. Safety is what ensures each person on the job gets to go home in good health. Courtney brought up how there are multiple safety checks in the SSR position that are there to keep employees and the environment safe.
She stays sharp by setting up challenges for herself that she has witnessed other SSR’s experience so that when the time comes, she’s prepared and ready. One of the notable milestones Courtney accomplished as her first steps to becoming an SSR was completing her CDL courses, as well as tanker and hazmat endorsements. Courtney has a strong desire to want to succeed at any task and finds joy in making people’s lives easier, which made her a perfect fit for a Crystal Clean SSR.

She has a very upbeat demeanor which is contagious,” said Fort Worth’s Branch Manager, Toby Knight when asked about Courtney. He went on to say, “She has meshed with our group well in Fort Worth and we are all proud to have her on the team.”
When asked her thoughts on the direction of Crystal Clean for the next 10 years Courtney said, “I hope to see the company expand and have more ownership of the waste facilities we use”.
Outside of work, Courtney enjoys spending time out with her friends and family gatherings with her siblings. She also has a 22-year-old son who she is very proud of and eager to see him succeed. She is also an avid fan of basketball and football. Her favorite teams are the LA Clippers and the LA Raiders and appreciates the chance to see them when they play in Texas.
