Humans of St. Charles - Ellie

"I talked to my mom like two weeks before that and said, 'When this is done, I think I’m going to look for a different position.' Because I didn’t like just being on the computer all the time. I thought I’d be actually training people and getting to interact with the doctors and see them learning and appreciating the time and effort that went into making sure this education made an impact on them and on patient outcomes, and I wasn’t getting that. But in April, we did two big (partially in-person) trainings and they really changed my perspective and opened up a lot of opportunities for things that I’m excited to do in the future."
