A Different
Perspective
Drives Change
I’m a healthcare professional, patient advocate, storyteller, and someone who’s lived with type 1 diabetes for more than three decades. My work and my story are rooted in real experience, a passion for people, and a belief that lived experience can create a more compassionate, inclusive, and innovative healthcare system.

story
into action.
I’ve lived with type 1 diabetes for decades. Through my fundraising for Breakthrough T1D. I’m turning that lived experience into action-supporting research, advocacy and a future with more possibilities for everyone living with T1D.
