About Dawna

I have worked in the retail industry/customer service all of my life and I love it. In my 20 s I worked for employers and I moved up the latter quite rapidly. In my 30,s I sold real estate and did well. I created my own property management company and it too is successful. But, something was missing within. Knowing that I have a natural calling and a deep desire to help others, to genuinely care about them, and the love I have for people even if they`re strangers to me. So, I went to school and started working in the medical field as a C.N.A. I fell in love with my-self because of what I was doing for others everyday. I have a sense of true accomplishment, real self worth, peace, and realizing I have made a difference in some ones life. This is very different than the reward I get from helping people choose their home or the color of their carpet. A lot of my work comes to me from previous clients. I have raised two children who are wonderful people. My daughter is a school teacher and my son serves our country. Their desire and motivation for helping and contributing to other comes from their morals, values, and a deep down drive in their heart which I believe I played a role in while raising them. I am very proud of them and also my 3 grandchildren who also demonstrate the same appreciation for life. Thank you for your time in considering my interest in employment.

    I am hard working, patient and compassionate. I am able to handle any situation that comes my way, while keeping my composure. I was attracted to this field of work because I believe in making the best possible use of what you have. Being patient and "passive" is not always viewed as a positive thing, but if I can leverage my personality traits to build professional relationships that are mutually beneficial, I believe that is a truly rewarding experience. I am a natural problem solver and that's what makes this job enjoyable for me. I like the fact that every day is different and brings new challenges that translate into learning experiences. I aim to learn as much as possible, at all times, regardless of circumstance. I am proud of the fact that I am able to remain positive and take something away from each experience I have in life.
