RSW Alberta Health Services
(Grand Prairie)
Treasurer Director
Dawn is a registered social worker currently working for AHS in Grande Prairie Alberta in a new position.
In my previous position at the Care Centre, I had many roles with the residents and their family from support to education and advocating when needed. In providing supports to family, I saw a number of people struggling with moving loved ones into care, this resulted in me starting a support group for these people, but due to COVID that has stopped.
I am a passionate, and caring individual who enjoys advocating for those individuals that may not have the ability or opportunity to use their voice to advocate for themselves. I am creative and when faced with a situation, I like to question the reason why things happen, and come to the table with a fresh perspective. My goal in life is to make a difference and if I can make the difference in at least one person’s life then I will have succeeded. One of my favourite quotes is from Ghandhi “You must be the change you wish to see in the world”, and an unknown author “If you can be anything in this world be kind”.
