Dawna recently said, “as long as I can remember I’ve always loved business! I was the kid with the lemonade stand. Also, later in my career and through my 13 years as an adjunct instructor at ULL, I realized I also had a passion for “coaching” others in business and leading  teams to achieve things they thought were not possible.” Dawna holds a B.S. in Business Administration (Marketing) and a Masters of Business Administration from the B.I. Moody College of Business at ULL.  Dawna serves on the Broussard Chamber of Commerce Board and  serves as Chairman of the Board for 1 st Clubs for Kids Foundation.
