    When Dawn isn’t at OASIS, she is playing with her senior golden retriever rescue dogs, Nova & Coconut, scuba diving, or reading a book by the pool. During the football season, you might catch her trading out her OASIS blue on Fridays for Kansas City Chiefs’ gear as she prepared to root for her favorite football team.

    Erin Quinn

    OUTREACH COORDINATOR

    Erin is passionate about helping every child fulfill their potential. She knows that a lack of access to basic necessities is one obstacle in the way of many children in Hillsborough County, and she is devoted to helping to remove that obstacle.

    When Erin isn’t at OASIS, you’ll find her volunteering in the schools of her two children, taking long walks with her husband and their German-shorthair pointer, or looking for thrifted furniture to repaint and upcycle in her garage. Erin loves to swim and do CrossFit in her home gym or to exercise her mind by devouring an eclectic assortment of books and podcasts.
