Professional Bio
Dawn C. Lemonius’ professional career began when she entered the teaching profession immediately after completing her tertiary education at Bethlehem Teacher’s College in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica; majoring in secondary level Mathematics and Social Studies. This led her to teaching Mathematics, Social Studies, and West Indian History at high schools across Jamaica.
After a few accomplished years, she transitioned into the field of business; having been trained and certified as a secretary at Duff’s Business College in Kingston, Jamaica. Charting a new path meant a new working environment; and opened her up to an opportunity at the Jamaica Tourist Board where she coordinated and marketed training programmes associated with the organization.
Since then, she has garnered extensive experience in government agencies such as JAMPRO and the Tourism Product Development Company (TPDCo), as well as both the manufacturing and hotel and a destination management company. She is now a Consultant in Human Resources and Training and Development in a variety of industries locally, regionally and internationally.

Excellence Programmes in companies across all disciplines. This programme is the vehicle she utilizes in facilitating change in employee’s attitudes and organization’s mode of operation
