South Berwick, Nova Scotia, Canada
Ciara is an RN and Certified Diabetes Educator residing in the beautiful Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia. She has lived with Type 1 Diabetes for 27 years. This year Ciara received a Diabetes Canada Volunteer of the Year award for her work with D-Camps and Pump Couture. She also excitedly took on the role of Nurse Coordinator at D-Camps Camp Lion Maxwell this past summer. She has worked with people who live with diabetes in a variety of healthcare settings, including both Critical and Primary Care. Ciara’s ultimate goal is to help extinguish the stigma and misinformation that often surrounds diabetes, both within society and the institution of healthcare itself. Ciara recognizes the importance of mental fitness in both her day-to-day life, and regarding her own diabetes self-management. She aims to live life outside of her comfort zone and ultimately hopes to help others living with diabetes to do the same.
