Dawson completed her Honours Bachelor of Arts in Law with a minor of Business at Carleton University before advancing her studies at Lakehead University’s Bora Laskin Faculty of Law and obtaining her JD in June 2024.  During her time at law school, Dawson was the Vice President of Finance for the Bora Laskin Law Student’s Society, was a dean’s fellow, and a tutor and the coordinator for the second year civil practice course. She also competed in the Tort Law Moot Competition.
