I am fortunate to have so many exceptional women in my life both professionally and personally. This International Women’s Day I would like to celebrate the one and only Dawn McCormick - my partner in crime, closest friend, counsellor, confidante and rock. An powerhouse of a woman - kind, wise and so much fun. The world would be a better place with more Dawns in it but unfortunately they broke the mould when they made her.
