Assistant Professor of Kinesiology
Professor Dawn Okonowski, a native of Ontario, Canada, began her academic journey at the University of Waterloo, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. A prestigious National Science and Engineering Research Council scholarship supported her studies. She later pursued a Master of Science in Human Biodynamics, specializing in Biomechanics, at McMaster University.
Before joining the faculty at TMU, Professor Okonowski gained extensive experience across diverse fields, including sports medicine, stroke rehabilitation, ergonomics, functional abilities evaluations, and exercise rehabilitation. She has also taught at various educational levels, bringing her students a wealth of knowledge and practical insight.
Outside academia, Dawn and her husband, Warren, are blessed parents to three sons—David, Michael, and Jacob. When she’s not teaching or mentoring, you’ll often find her in the stands, cheering them on at their basketball games.

With professors who are active athletic trainers, students gain cutting-edge knowledge and hands-on experience, including training with TMU athletes and internships that pave the way for careers in allied health, coaching, firefighting, and more.
