Interesting Fact: I am a Type 1 diabetic and wear an insulin pump. Prior to getting this really cool device, I estimate I self-delivered about 12,000 injections. I'm always excited to hear about new research that brings us closer to a cure.
About Working at News First: We always strive to bring the most pertinent and accurate information to our viewers at home. That's a reputation the staff is proud of – and one that you can trust.
Favorite Websites: I scan both local and national news sites every morning to catch up on the latest headlines, but you'll find me checking email more often than blogs.
