Eileanoir (Ellie) Dawson is a Training Coordinator for Continuing Professional Development at Sutter Health during the week and a caregiver on the weekend. She recently worked as an Emergency Medicine Medical Scribe at Sutter Davis Hospital. Ellie received her Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry at St. Mary’s College of California in Spring of 2022. Ellie has held a variety of healthcare and STEM related positions including working as a Volunteer at John Muir Hospital, Certified Nursing Assistant, in Quality Control at Bayer Pharmaceuticals, and as a receptionist in a skilled nursing facility. During her undergraduate education, she belonged to a research team that partnered with the California State Parks and the US Forest Service to study atmospheric chemistry and pollution in California. She spearheaded her own research project identifying pollutants and their effects on California public health after the 2018 Paradise Fire. 
Ellie is attending University of Washingtons Accelerated Bachelor's Degree in Nursing program to fulfill her long- term plan of becoming a Registered Nurse. Later, she wants to obtain her Clinical Nurse Leader license, and ultimately become a Nurse Practitioner. Ellie hopes these advanced studies will prepare her to pursue a future in nursing education where she can teach future nurses in an administrative, clinical, or academic setting.
