She started The Write Advantage Inc. on the belief that everyone has a story to tell. An award-winning journalist turn communications strategist and speaker, Dawn is a natural storyteller known for her ability to help organizations shape and share their stories in meaningful ways.
Today, she combines a commitment to communicating an organization's value with strategic business planning to offer a variety of signature storytelling services at The Write Advantage Inc.
Dawn lives in St. Cloud with her husband and two life-loving young children who remind her everyday what’s most important. In her free time, she enjoys spending time on a lake, playing catch with her kids and winning in beanbag toss.
