DSP Week Staff Spotlight – Meet Dawn

She is hard at work supporting clients, creating safe spaces to connect and take part in activities, building day-to-day life skills, organizing and accompanying to appointments, teaching financial awareness, supporting counselling, and administering medications.

Dawn loves getting to know each individual on a personal level. Field trips and fun activities are her favourite, especially when they spark confidence and connection.

One memory she’ll never forget: after a 10-day vacation, Dawn returned to find clients asking her not to go away so long next time because they’d missed her so much! It’s a reminder of the trust and relationships built over the years.

Outside of work, Dawn enjoys hiking, going to the gym, and travelling, and she’s currently learning to play the bass guitar.
