I have been living with type 1 diabetes for fifteen years, having received my diagnosis in 2009.  I chose to become a member of the Blue Circle Voices network because I am passionate about sharing my personal experiences to reach others who are living with type 1 diabetes. Ultimately, I aim to empower and encourage people worldwide to help them overcome the challenges associated with diabetes and lead a fulfilling life. My knowledge and expertise, which I have gained over the years as both a dancer and a pharmacist, give me the skills and confidence to make a meaningful contribution towards achieving the International Diabetes Federation’s goals to improve the lives of people living with diabetes and prevent diabetes in those at risk.
