Certification Scholarship Recipient
"I am so excited about this opportunity this scholarship offers by helping me continue to grow and learn as a Human Resources professional. I am looking forward to the class in the fall, and am so appreciative for this support offered through FWHR." - Kate Dawson
Kate Dawson has spent over 10 years in Human Resources, looking for ways to make a positive impact in employee’s lives. She studied communication and business at the University of Texas in Austin and after graduation in 2009, ventured into the non-profit /human resources world as a corporate trainer with Goodwill Industries of Fort Worth. After leading the agency through their first community needs assessment, the outcome inspired both her and the agency to develop the Goodlife program where Kate has been able to combine a passion for making connections, health and empowering employees since the inception of the program in 2016. In her free time, she loves hiking with her dogs and traveling to new places. She enjoys being active in community organizations and initiatives with the goal of helping people live longer, better.
