Anne Hu, Writer and Director of LUNCHBOX and Cake

"Dawn is an extremely talented actress, a joy to work with, and the utmost professional.  Dawn is passionate about her craft, asks fantastic questions, and puts a lot of thought into her characters.  She comes to set with her lines memorized, on time, and ready to go.  She works wonderfully with others, whether it be with the crew or other actors.   Dawn's natural warmth and respect for others allows her to create safe spaces for collaboration and authentic performances." November 2023
