Age: 10
Age at T1D diagnosis: 1

Olivia has a passion for adventure and creativity! She loves gymnastics, horseback riding, and crocheting, and she’s always up for spending time with friends. Olivia was diagnosed with T1D when she was just 12 months old and took some of her first steps down the halls of the hospital at UCSF. She has navigated toddlerhood, preschool, and now elementary school—all while managing T1D with resilience and courage.

Olivia enjoys helping others understand T1D and showing that it doesn’t stop her from doing what she loves. She is excited to be part of Children’s Congress and use her voice to make a difference for everyone living with T1D!
