Dawn Quarles

Dawn spent her childhood on the white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico and she still calls this gorgeous place her home. She studied a little bit of everything in college: English, Women’s Literature, Anthropology, Speech Pathology and Journalism before finally graduating from the University of West Florida with a degree in Social Studies. She shares her dad’s love for travel and was able to enjoy Europe and Central America many times throughout college. These experiences groomed and nurtured her need to understand unique human experiences and the common threads that we all share, especially women. Consequently, she found her niche in life…education. Teaching high school history and politics happened quite by accident, but it has been the career from which she draws her soul’s identity. Its freedoms during the summer give her the time and solace to create what she loves most, personal stories with a universal message.
