Originally from Fairholme, Sk., she worked at a variety of locations during her apprenticeships including: Anderson Pharmacy in North Battelford, Maidstone Pharmacy in Maidstone, Leonard Fysh Drugs in Moose Jaw and Shoppers Drug Mart in Saskatoon.

She stepped down to the staff pharmacist position in 1995 due to a desire to reduce her work hours to allow for marriage and a family. In February of 2003, the pharmacy department at the Co-op was closed due to the pharmacist shortage issues of that time, and Dawn Marie came to work at Henders Drugs.
During her time at the Estevan Co-op, Dawn Marie recruited and trained several new pharmacy graduates, initiated an “Ask Your Pharmacist” column in the local newspaper, and was twice published in the Pharmacy Post magazine.

Dawn Marie has a special interest in Pediatric Medicine. Because two of her children have asthma, she has paid particular attention to keeping up to date on the latest asthma treatment protocols. She has also been trained as a PACT pharmacist for smoking cessation and as a Pharmacist Prescriber.
