I organise CPD workshops with Irish education centres to provide courses for teachers and SNAs around diabetes awareness. I advocate for people with diabetes through the MidWest Diabetes Advocacy Group, Diabetes Ireland Advocacy Group, IDF Europe, the Global Heart Hub an

d more. I help to co-ordinate the Irish Adults with Type 1 Diabetes - Exercise Challenge Group and Limerick Adults with Type 1 Diabetes Group here on Facebook. I have completed the International Diabetes Federation Europe's Youth Leadership Lab in 2021.
