She understands “geek speak” but prefers plain English to build comfort and competence for software users of any experience level. Her experience and credentials with software training are proven not by an overuse of lingo but by helping clients and others to be more productive and less frustrated by their software tools. A conference and classroom favorite, she strives to generate mental light bulbs not glazed looks. Dawn is your tech translator and problem solver!

Mix in a social mother and teacher who encouraged travel and taking risks, and the career path was likely to be a natural! Dawn enjoys the Colorado mountains, hiking, biking, yoga, golf, fitness, travel, and playing poker.
