Jennifer M.

An amazing addition to the company, Dawn excels with every responsibility thrown her way! She meets every challenge with ease and makes her strong work ethic evident. I am consistently impressed with her passion to succeed while balancing a large work load. Her great communication skills have allowed her to develop a wonderful working relationship with our factories and the department. She helps motivate the team and stay positive even under the busiest time of the season. A team player, who is dependable and a pleasure to work with, I could not ask for a better working relationship! Dawn is an asset for any organization and I highly recommend her for any future endeavors.

Dawn is an enthusiastic professional who is passionate about her work. The fact that she studied abroad in Italy during her college career speaks to her sense of adventure and maturity.I know any employer would be as happy with Dawn as we were at IUP!
