DAWN
Davis Area Women's Network
I founded DAWN to create a supportive, empowering community for women in and around the Davis area.
DAWN provided a space for connection, growth, and professional development through networking events, workshops, and casual gatherings.
Key Contributions:
Built a thriving community that fostered collaboration and mentorship
Organized networking events, workshops, and educational sessions
Created opportunities for women entrepreneurs and professionals to expand their networks
Championed social impact, community engagement, and professional growth
By cultivating meaningful relationships and shared learning experiences, DAWN helped women gain confidence, build strong connections, and grow personally and professionally.
"I want to build a community where women of all races can communicate and … continue supporting and caring for each other. I want to give women a space to feel their own strength and tell their stories. That is power."

Message From The Founding Director
I founded DAWN in December 2022 to recreate the culture of a village, where people know and support each other through a natural elder system that values cross-generational and cross-cultural connections.
DAWN has grown and connected with over 450 women! Our Networking events are full of support and love! The feeling of belonging touches everyone who attends!
Davis is unique because people from around the world come here. I created DAWN to fill a need for women who are transplants without family nearby or who want to find their people and feel connected and supported by other women! Through our connection, we notice all the ways that we are the same and honor, celebrate, and learn about the wonderful ways that we are each different and unique.
DAWN is fast becoming that special community where everyone's voice, wisdom, and life experiences are valued! We are redefining success for women, creating powerful connections, and creating a safe space where everyone belongs and rises together!
I focused on supporting women in local businesses because I believe that when women thrive and live in abundance, the whole community becomes a better place!
As an ICF-PCC, professional certified master coach, I bring my skills to the community to help women develop a growth mindset. As a natural community builder and connector, I facilitate a culture that values collaboration over competition and connection over isolation. We all benefit when we grow together!
