Her dedication and care help create a welcoming and efficient environment for both the team and clients, making Benchmark feel like home to all who walk through the doors.
Dawn is also a proud mom to four amazing kids and is thrilled to now welcome a welcome a wonderful daughter-in-law into the family. In 2026, she also earned one of her favorite titles yet: GranDawnie! She is a creative soul whose love language is caring for others, making her everyone’s go-to for advice and therapy. Dawn loves spending time with her dog, Lottie, reading, baking, smocking baby dresses, and even bike riding!
