Dawn was born in England and grew up in the far north of Scotland, before she immigrated to Canada in 1991 and made Ottawa her home.
Dawn originally trained to be a nurse in Scotland and furthered her studies in this regard at the University of Ottawa.
Since becoming a permanent resident she has enjoyed all that Canada has to offer, which is quite a lot since Dawn loves to be outdoors. Dawn's career includes a background in retail sales as well as sales for Minto Developments for 5 years before joining the OCC in 2000.
This is Dawn’s 10 year anniversary with the Ottawa Convention Centre. She has covered all markets for the OCC including the corporate and most often the national Canadian Association market. “Seeing the redevelopment of the OCC come to fruition is so exciting after being here through many attempts to make the expansion a reality, I am so proud to be a part of the team working on this important project for the city and for our industry”.
Dawn has served on committees for CSAE, YM/YWCA and has recently acquired her CASE (Certified Association Sales Executive) designation. She is a member of CSAE and PCMA and actively takes part in both organizations.
When not working, Dawn is a devoted mom to two small boys aged 2 and 5. She loves to be outdoors, is an avid "keep fit" enthusiast as well as a skier, hiker and general sports enthusiast. She also travels home to her native UK when time permits to spend time with family and friends.
