Bio
Victoria Jaenig
It has been my pleasure to work with Dawn Russel for seven years. Professionalism and knowledgeable are two key words that describe Dawn, she works extremely well under pressure and knows how to get the job done. She meets deadlines, exceeds expectations and goes above and beyond. She is personable and passionate about what she does and what she knows and is willing to share it with others upon request. Her knowledge of Aboriginal peoples, Indigenous protocols, higher education, office administration, event planning, working with non-profits/ Board of Directors and especially marketing and communications using a multitude of formats will make her not only a valuable asset but a great addition to any team. I would recommend her for Communications, Strategic Communications, Corporate Communications, Marketing, Aboriginal Relations, Indigenous Protocols, Administration and Community Planning Initiatives.
