She graduated in 2007 with the Highest Achievement Award and the William F. White’s Industry Award. In the summer of 2006, she taught a two-week Screen Arts workshop to a group of teen girls for the Women in Media Foundation. Her short film Daddy Why? has been featured in Fredericton, New Brunswick’s Silver Wave Film Festival, the DragonCon Film Festival in Atlanta, Georgia, and New York’s First Sundays Festival Series. Dawn is now living in Grand-Barachois, New Brunswick, with husband and collaborator Michael Aronson, and is presently in development on two short films and a hand-drawn animation.
