Dawn listened as her grandmother brought generations to life through vivid stories, humor, and wisdom. Those moments planted the seeds for Dawn’s lifelong passion for character-driven storytelling.

Her on-camera work also includes acting roles in films “Three Days to a Kill”, “Keys to Tulsa” and on iconic television series such as “Walker, Texas Ranger” and “Dallas”.

Dawn enjoys working directly with talent through her company Warner Models and has helped cast talent for most major television networks including Mtv, ABC, CBS, VH1, Oxygen, FOX and brands including Ferrari, Kate Spade, Malibu Rum and more. She hosts model and acting camps designed to develop the next generation of models and actors. Her hands-on approach reflects a commitment to mentorship and talent development within the industry.
