D C is a Consultant. They is proficient in Spanish. Colleagues describe them as "I am pleased to write this letter in support of DC. I have known DC since 2013 when they were a student member of the campus committee I chaired focusing on spirit, pride and traditions on campus. In the fall of 2014 they were a student in my master’s class – survey of college student development theory, and in 2015 Spring semester they were the TA for that class for me. Additionally, they were a student staff member and graduate resident assistant in my area. As this record of progressive responsibility and leadership during their collegiate education demonstrates, DC is a committed and talented educator, collaborator and organizer.
Enthusiasm, Spirit, Dependability, Critical Thinking, Compassion for all students, and general good nature are what I consider to be their strengths. Particularly as it related to being a partner, mentor and colleague to other graduate students and a motivator to undergraduates under their care. My experience working with them was a joy, as it reminded me daily of how transformative the college going experience can be for many students. Their spirt created a welcoming and accepting atmosphere where students could thrive.
Rarely in my 35 years of working in this industry does a student stand out in this manner. DC is a passion driven industrious change agent. They create a positive and motivating environment for peers and supervisors. I would hire them for a position that matches their skills anytime." and "I had the pleasure of working with Dawson in their role with Campus Living Villages at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco as their supervisor. Dawson has a skill set that is extremely vital to any successful team which include: very close attention to detail, accountability, anticipating departmental needs, and advocacy for creating a more inclusive and equitable work environment. This is a thread that runs through everything Dawson does professionally, which strengthens the team in a substantial way. Given the chance, I would definitely work with Dawson again, and believe the value they add would help advance any companies/teams goals in a positive way."
