Episode 3: Yoga, Travel, and Following Your Passion with Dawn Potter

Deliver the X Podcast

Dawn Potter is the HR Generalist for imageOne and has been with the company for over seven years. She graduated in 2008 with a degree in Marketing from Western Michigan University and joined the imageOne team shortly thereafter. She currently lives in Fort Mill, South Carolina with her husband, Ryan.

Dawn’s journey with imageOne started out in the Customer Care department, focusing on supporting our customers predominantly through our proactive toner replenishment program. She worked with IT professionals to install and troubleshoot the software applications used to manage their printer fleets. At the end of 2016 she expressed an interest in shifting gears to a role in HR. The timing was perfect as we identified a need in this area of the business and thought she would be a great fit. She brings an eagerness to learn, positive energy, and is thoughtful in developing and refining her skills to move imageOne forward.

Dawn has a passion for travel and looks forward to taking yearly trips around the world to experience different cultures, ancient ruins, and food. This year, as part of her husband’s 40th birthday celebration, they plan on traveling to Alaska to see the Northern lights and go dog sledding. Their trip will end in Colorado to try out skiing for the first time together.
