ABOUT
Long before she could spell, Words Matter founder and principal Dawn Rachelle Kotapish was enchanted by the written word. Since then, she has devoted her career to studying the art of how words, carefully crafted, can clarify, captivate, and compel change.
A published author and seasoned expert in results-driven content strategy and creation, Dawn has served for-profit commercial clients as well as helped mission-driven institutions raise a collective $1 billion to date in support of humanitarian aid, sustainable development, and higher education.
She draws from skills honed while earning a Master of Arts degree in literature and creative writing from Harvard University and extensive cross-cultural experience, including travel to 50 world nations.
“Language… is by nature magical.”
