Dunn brings a track record of navigating complex policy environments to the firm, having served as the primary spokesperson for the Louisiana Department of Education under State Superintendent John White. During her tenure, she managed the messaging for the state's comprehensive 'Louisiana Believes' reform agenda, which focused on early literacy, curriculum modernization, and expanded career pathways. Thomas Rodgers, senior vice president of K-12 communications at Whiteboard Advisors, noted that Dunn’s firsthand experience managing legislative sessions and contentious board meetings provides a practical edge that few consultants can replicate.

Her career trajectory includes a background as a journalist for The Chronicle of Higher Education and a leadership role in external affairs at Louisiana State University. Since moving into the private sector, she has operated as an independent consultant for education leaders and mission-driven organizations. At Whiteboard Advisors, she joins a team that includes former U.S. News & World Report writer Lauren Camera. The firm currently manages a diverse portfolio that spans PK-12 and postsecondary education, leveraging both its public affairs practice and its W/A Media publishing division, which reaches 400,000 readers monthly.
