Being from Colorado, Sabrina enjoys staying active! She plays lacrosse and loves to ski in the winter and mountain bike in the summer. One month after her T1D diagnosis at age 8, Sabrina hiked the Grand Canyon North Rim to South Rim. “I will never forget all the Skittles I ate along the way just to keep my numbers in range.” In 2019, Sabrina helped design a sweatshirt for Athleta Girl that included a pocket big enough to hold T1D supplies—the sweatshirt even sold out! She’s very involved with JDRF One Walk; her team has raised over $100,000 since 2018! Sabrina also proudly rang the NASDAQ bell on World Diabetes Day!

Sabrina works hard in school and is interested in studying medicine in the future.  “I want to be well-educated, happy, and live a healthy life while helping others.”
