I’ve been living with type 1 diabetes since 1999. Throughout my childhood and teen years, I struggled with my acceptance of diabetes which greatly impacted my management. I felt isolated and angry with my diagnosis.

After hitting a rock bottom in 2017, I started on a health journey. After 20 years of being diagnosed with diabetes, how had I still not figured it out?

As it turns out, there was a lot more to diabetes than just counting carbs. After finding success in my own journey, I wanted to help others do the same. I learned all I could about nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress. I became a Certified Health Coach. I earned my Master’s degree in Nutrition and Food Science. I became a Registered Dietitian and Certified Personal Trainer. I learned about the mental barriers that stand in the way of us becoming our best selves.

Now I work to empower people with diabetes live happy, healthy, and active lives. Through education, support, and community, my programs and resources have transformed hundreds of lives. I’m beyond grateful to do this work!!
