I would absolutely recommend Dawn Gutch to anyone interested in hiring her. She was my supervisor for over a year and she was excellent. She was honest, direct, professional and an all around pleasure to work for and with. I have had several supervisors with the County of Sonoma and she was one of the best I have had.
