“I don’t know that I could choose any one book as a favorite, but the most impactful as a genre have been autobiographies. They put what we think we know about people in perspective & makes them more relatable. It helps us to remember that we are all human whom all have experiences and hurt, and that we should treat each other with kindness because we never know what other people are going through.”

Dawn Mann

Finance Manager

Originally born in Ohio and raised in Bradenton, Florida, Dawn brings a truly global perspective to the Studio 10 team. After earning her degree from the University of South Florida, she began her professional career in accounting in the Atlanta area, where she lived for more than four years. A move overseas to Hong Kong with her husband’s job led to nearly eight years abroad, where she raised three children and gained invaluable life experience. Upon returning to the United States, she relaunched her accounting career, bringing with her a broadened worldview and a deep appreciation for adaptability and organization.

In her role at Studio 10, she thrives on structure, precision, and problem-solving. A self-proclaimed numbers enthusiast, Dawn enjoys the clarity and order that spreadsheets and financial systems provide, helping keep projects and operations running smoothly behind the scenes.

Dawn is fueled by kindness, community, hospitality, and of course, great food. Outside of work, she loves exploring new recipes and restaurants, often spending weekends flipping through cookbooks and cooking magazines in search of inspiration. When she’s not in the kitchen, you can find her hiking, enjoying live music, traveling, reading, organizing, and spending time with friends, family, and her four-legged companions.
