Partnerships
I have worked with Dawn on many projects. Dawn’s ability to locate unusual stone and apply specialized finishes makes Dawn and Cumar my go to destination for all projects. Recently, I asked Dawn to execute my design for a kitchen island and media room fireplace treatment she had never previously executed. Her dedication to the precision of the project and the timeliness of the process were superlative! Thank you Dawn for yet another perfect job!
Dawn has been a lighthouse in the industry for many years. Always a consistent professional, Dawn works hard to cultivate relationships, show expertise in her business, and does an exceptional job at marketing for her firm. She really is a beacon example, shining the way for good marketing and business practices.
All you need is five minutes with Dawn Carroll to know she is fun, creative and has a passion for what she does.
Here is what KVC Builders’ Project Managers say about working with Dawn Carroll:
“Dawn is an amazing person with a wealth of knowledge about anything stone. Any question you ask, she will have the answer! I have learned a great deal from her about stone, where it comes from, types of stone, quarries, and everything in between.”
“She works very hard, all hours of the day and is always emailing or calling to make sure that we are taken care of and if there is anything that we need to help complete the project at hand.”
“Overall Dawn is one of the best people that I have worked with at KVC.”
KVC Builders is pleased to recognize Dawn Carroll as one of The Right People – the partners that share our passion for excellence and unwavering commitment to making sure that every KVC project is done right from the start.
Catalano Architects has been working with Dawn Carroll, and her team at Cumar, for years. Dawn is great to work with and her knowledge of stone and stone fabrication makes our jobs easier. Cumar has executed some very complex projects for us and the work has been outstanding.We would not hesitate to recommend Dawn to all of our clients and builders.
Dawn is a rare individual in the stone industry. She has the eye of the artist, the skills to manage a project from start to finish and a thorough knowledge of stone materials. Plus (and this is truly unique in our business) she has the ability ot stay positive.
Dawn Carroll and the Over My Shoulder foundation is a platform for hope. It is a seed that, when watered and nourished and encouraged grows to change lives. In the ten plus years that I have had the privilege to know Dawn Carroll she has always tended that seed with her deepest passions: no one should be alone, possibility should always have a long horizon, people can change perspectives. Over My Shoulder has made a marked difference in my community of Boston bringing previously unbeknownst awareness to the very concept of mentoring.
Celebrating it through award programs like the (now coveted) MIDDIES (Mentors in Design), creating heartbreaking multi-media tributes to young women who changed simply because they had someone watching out for them, guiding them with a constant yet loving pressure to see something “other”, providing a platform that brought mentoring out of the shadows and into the realm of a deeply meaningful requirement. I have been personally reminded of my rights and responsibilities and seek to extend my network to match the constant yet loving pressure of Dawn’s incredible achievements. Thank you Dawn for all you have done so far and…you must carry on!
I have been working with Dawn as a colleague for many years now and more importantly I have known Dawn as a tireless advocate for the importance of mentoring. Dawn along with Patti Austin and the late Steve Twombley formed a local firebrand with the Mentors in Design Awards (The Middies) and numerous celebrations and recognitions for local Mentors and Mentees. Together and through their leadership they raised awareness and supported and recognized the best and the most ardent Mentors in our community. Dawn and Patti both gave unconditionally of their time and energy to promote what they believed to be such an important factor in an individuals’ successes. The Middies became an event not to be missed and a celebration of all that being a Mentor is about. The act of producing this event and the consistent messaging and enthusiasm serves as an enduring example of exactly what it means to be a Mentor. Dawn and Patti truly have been a Mentor to an entire industry here, through their spirit and dedication, truly role models for those they are eager to celebrate. The consistency, dedication and high expectations demonstrated by these two powerful and influential women speak exactly to what Mentorship is all about.
I have known Dawn for years not only as my go to expert for all things stone but also through her Over My Shoulder mentoring.
Her OMS foundation is extremely important to Dawn and this shows in her passion for mentoring. She has been a leader in mentoring in the construction field in the Greater Boston area by organizing events for others to share their experiences and knowledge.
I almost had the opportunity to witness her mentoring 1st hand years ago when she tried to introduce my son to the sound engineering and music field. Unfortunately, he was too young to take advantage of the opportunity!
I have great respect for all Dawn has accomplished over the years. I look forward to continuing to learn from her professionally and personally.
