I have been living with Type 1 Diabetes for over 14 years and being involved with the 'D1 Now' study since early 2014. I work as European Partner Channels Relationship Builder for EuroSTAR Software testing conferences and I also manage the exhibition for the sister conference UKSTAR. My job allows me to travel over Europe to conferences and events, which brings its challenges with Diabetes, but I'm always up for the challenge! 

I have an interest in raising awareness of diabetes and helping others with Diabetes. I previously set up a Diabetic club in LYIT (Letterkenny IT). The D1 Now study has allowed me to continue helping others with Diabetes through the research we do and my role within the YAP team.
