Emily has been living with T1D since she was 10 years old. Since day one, her endocrinologist told her “a girls gotta’ do what a girls gotta do”, and she has never let diabetes slow her down. That same year, Emily started attending diabetes camp and she has never missed a summer since! Emily transitioned from a camper to a counselor, and is now the Program Coordinator at Camp Morris. She cannot imagine life without her large diabetes family. By day, Emily works as a Graphic Designer at BRG Communications, and she also runs the Instagram page @diabeticdesigns, where she shares positive and funny diabetes content. Originally from Charlotte, Emily resides in Arlington, VA, where she can be found riding her road bike, taking pottery classes, or playing volleyball in her free time.
