Jessica has had a passion for connecting those with diabetes to wellness for many years. It began during her time working as a health coach for an insurance company where she gained experience coaching many patients living with diabetes. But her passion for diabetes education and advocacy grew exponentially when her son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2016, at the age of 6. Since her son’s diagnoses Jessica has been working diligently to advocate for her son and for others who live with diabetes.

In addition to her interest in helping those with diabetes, Jessica is passionate about sleep health. She suffers from two sleep disorders, and her battle to achieve her own wellness has fueled her drive to help others with what can be a debilitating condition.

On November 4th, 2018, Jessica will be speaking the Von Are Family Foundation Southwest Florida Diabetes and Wellness Conference in Naples, Florida. She will discuss the Importance of Sleep & Living with Diabetes.
