A graduate of The Juilliard School, she is the recipient of the John Houseman Award for her commitment and dedication.

Station 51's spirited house medic, Gabriella Dawson is fast thinking, fearless and passionate - qualities that make Dawson her own best friend and worst enemy.

Dawson's strong and ambitious nature lends itself to her professional dedication, but navigating dating and work while trying to control her feelings for Lt. Casey is a constant challenge.

Following her intuition can be tightrope act between doing the right thing and following protocol. And although recent judgment calls have landed her on the receiving end of disciplinary action, make no mistake: Dawson is an outstanding paramedic.
