Sophie is passionate about so many activities: from competitive soccer to jazz band, pep band and honors wind symphony, to National Junior Honors Society and Society of Women Engineers. Sophie is also incredibly passionate about raising awareness about T1D by being involved with JDRF, currently serving as the JDRF Rocky Mountain Youth Ambassador Vice President, and has participated in JDRF One Walk and Gala events. Sophie doesn’t let T1D stop her, and is determined to use her voice in D.C. to make sure progress in research and T1D tech continues to advance. “Thanks to today’s technology, I can chase my dreams and passions. If research and technology continue to improve, then life with T1D could become just a memory.”
