The Duly Noted Team
Emily T. Dawson, M.A.
Emily’s fascination for understanding and improving communication in family units began during her time at Cornell University. As a curious undergrad, she wrote a paper on parenting and the ephemeral nature of Snapchat, the app that captured the minds of youths worldwide; since then, she has never looked back, continuing to study families from a communication science perspective in quantitative and qualitative spaces during her graduate student career. While Emily wrote her Master’s papers, she realized she not only wanted to write and research family communication topics, but she wanted to put her knowledge into practice, helping families around the world harness the power of communication theory.
Founder, President, & Lead Consultant
Julia M. Dawson, MBA
With over fifteen years of career experience in corporate America and over twenty being Emily’s mom, Julia is Duly Noted’s trusted business manager and advisor. Her top-notch skills in finance and guiding Emily’s creativity into forward-moving action provide the team with the structure and direction we need to succeed. Emily and Julia’s experiences together navigating divorce, tragic loss, and family illness speak to the strong bonds created by the practice of impeccable family communication. While the duo is by no means perfect, they guide the team values of life-long learning and the pursuit of better communication skills in every facet of life.
Business Consultant
Will Sokol
Much like Duly Noted’s Founder, Will had a unique journey to finding his career calling as a marketing and advertising expert. He pivoted from a degree in the hard sciences to the marketing world by happenstance and realized it was the place he needed to be. It was also by chance that Will met Emily while she was living in Washington D.C. for graduate school; they fell for each other on the first date and have been side-by-side ever since. As her life and business partner, Will knows how passionate Emily is about helping her clients achieve their family and overall communication improvement goals. He supports her and Duly Noted through his years of experience managing numerous impressive marketing portfolios to ensure our team can reach as many people as possible.
