As a qualified Teacher of the Deaf, a fluent British Sign Language user and a Welsh Learner, Dawn is passionate about the work we do here.

“COS’s mission of Improving Quality of Life through Equality aligns with my personal beliefs. The passion and determination of my colleagues to achieve this goal has the wonderful effect of changing a job into a vocation.”
