Dawn Boyer :  

Right now - I'm working on my PhD in Education, Occupational & Technical Studies, concentrating on Training & Development in Human Resources at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA. I am married to a retired EOD Navy Chief who owns a very, very successful carpet & upholstery cleaning company in Virginia Beach, VA (he serves all Hampton Roads). I have three teenage daughters who graduated from Tallwood High School and are now going to Tidewater Community College and the CayceReilly School of MassoTherapy. I've also put my own 'shingle' out - providing human resources consulting to small businesses and defense 8(a) companies who are unable to afford to hire a full-time qualified HR manager on their staff. Services also include career resume review and rewrites, as well as training and development in MS office software and social media training and profile maintenance. Dawn D.
