I was diagnosed at 3 years old. The story involves my mom, who taught kindergarten, and my babysitter, Gail. One day, Gail said I was drinking a lot of water and “peeing like a diabetic.” Ironically, they’d just been having a conversation about a young girl we knew who’d been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and my mom said, “I could never give my ch...
It was almost by accident, funnily enough. Our JDRF NYC Chapter friend was doing a photoshoot in the city for JDRF’s annual financial report cover. I was 5 or 6 at the time. Turns out the boy who was supposed to do the shoot got scared and backed out, so they asked my mom to see if I was interested. Me being me, I said absolutely—any opportunity to...
At age 14, I got an abscess on my forehead, which grew over two or three months to be about the size of a ping-pong ball. I named it Bob, which I talk about in my TED talk.And that was sort of a testament to my having type 1—I didn’t care about being different. It was almost like a strength for me. I found a way to make it interesting and people wo...
Actually, it’s helped. With HS I can only eat really, really clean, healthy foods—pretty much a paleo diet, only what a caveman could eat. I eat grass-fed meat, salad/greens, vegetables and that’s pretty much it. No starches. No grains. No dairy. No sugars of any kind except honey. My numbers flatlined as soon as I really stuck to that diet. And I’...
JDRF advocacy launched me into HS advocacy. When I got the condition I thought, “All right, where are the billboards? Where are the commercials about this thing?” I was used to the amazing support system around type 1. It just seemed natural to talk to people about it. In Florida, I came back to school after being bedridden for two months with all ...
After moving to Santa Barbara, I competed in my high school talent show called Royals Got Talent. That was the first time I’d ever played guitar in front of people, and it was in front of my entire school, 1,400 people in my school auditorium. I don’t get nervous much on stage, but that was kind of nerve-wracking. After that was the local Santa Bar...
You know, anytime anyone hears you sing, if you’re a good singer, they say, “You should do ‘The Voice.’ You should do ‘American Idol.’” My idols are people who didn’t do talent shows to get famous. They worked on their character and songwriting and becoming incredible musicians. So I always found the idea somewhat disingenuous; I didn’t really see ...
I’d love to be a touring and recording musician. I’d like to be a household name for music and for type 1 and HS advocacy, and inspire people to chase their dreams. I see myself speaking to Congress someday on behalf of T1D and HS and connecting with amazing people from all walks of life worldwide, as I enjoy acting too. The sky’s the limit.
