Professional, organised and thorough are just a few words I would use to describe Dawn. She brings such a positive energy to her work and is so motivated it’s infectious. I have worked with Dawn as my Program Director in an education capacity for several years now and I just know that I don’t have to think twice about anything, I’m in safe hands, working for a highly professional individual. On top of all of that she is easy going and such a great pleasure to work with, I can’t wait to work with her again some day.Suzanne Keating – Graphic & Instructional Designer, Educator & Creative Director at Oriole Design.
Dawn immediately strikes you as someone with that 'special' element which sets people apart from others. Her enthusiasm, generosity and friendliness is balanced perfectly with her wisdom, insight and vision. She packages this up delightfully in with a driven work ethic. Since working alongside Dawn several years ago, I have always looked forward to the time we do so again.Justin Brow – Managing Director 60Sox (Business Development Consultancy)

Dawn is a helpful breath of fresh air! I could write about skills and expertise but really, at the end of the day, it's just great to work, discuss jobs and people, and liaise with someone who's fun and we like dealing with. Effortless and charming.Jonathan Nolan – Director at Coast Design, Hermann Anthony & St Albans Writers’ Festival
