Ellynne Bannon’s Passion is Empowering People…
Whether it’s policy or personal health, sometimes people and organizations need help to meet their goals. Ellynne ‘s passion is empowering people – patients, leaders and organizations – to recognize their dreams and meet their objectives.
Ellynne is a highly effective, results-oriented professional with more than twenty years of leadership experience empowering clients to make change, enacting innovative policies, building lasting relationships, creating solutions and meeting deadlines under pressure. Most recently, Ellynne has been working as a hospice nurse and with the non-profit Healthy Air & Water Colorado to address the health-related impacts of climate change.
Outside of work, Ellynne spends her time trying to imitate her nonna Anna’s cooking, hiking & trail running without falling down (because she’s busy gawking at the beauty of this world), sleeping under the stars, and learning all about herbs and plants.
