#MEETSTEVENS Elizabeth Cooper Lead Resident Instructor Elizabeth joined Stevens in October of 2011 as a driver and was hired on as a Resident Instructor in January of 2019.

Allie Gilbert Contractor Division Contractor Relations Manager
Allie joined the Insurance department in August of 2006. In a career pivot after more than ten years with Stevens, she was confident in her breadth of experience with safety and risk to take on a role supporting drivers also looking to take their career in a new but familiar direction. She now mentors professional drivers interested in becoming Owner Operators. “Seeing our drivers’ continued success and receiving their Lease Completion Bonus payouts at the end of their lease is what drives my success,” Allie mentioned. “Our program is essentially life-changing for our drivers, and being a small part in that is very fulfilling!” Her advice for new associates: “Ask many questions, and always looks for opportunities to learn things about the company as a whole, not only your job. When she is not working, Allie enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband, three-year-old son, and her nieces and nephews.
Rachel Bowman Claims Office Assistant Rachel first joined Stevens in 2015 with our Insurance department and returned in 2019 after a brief hiatus. Her previous experience here coordinating insurance coverage in accident cases set her up to hit the ground running once she was back in the Claims/Insurance saddle. Her twin boys, along with the many departments that depend on her to do her job correctly and efficiently, are why Rachel strives to succeed on a daily basis. Her advice to new associates: “Be open-minded to constructive criticism. Remember it’s not personal!” Outside of work, Rachel enjoys spending quality time with her family, hunting with her husband and enjoying the beauty of nature.
