Leaving agency, saw Fawn joining the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) as an Events Manager, working with the sponsor family. After leaving VANOC, she launched her own consulting practice – The Fawnz Creative Communications. Among her first client contracts was the management of Canwest Publishing’s 2010 Winter Games sponsorship with 10 daily newspapers. She most recently managed the sponsorship portfolio for the BC division of a major Canadian corporation in addition to her freelance consulting.
