Zosia has a passion for writing, especially poetry. She also loves to play violin and listen to live music. Aside from an appreciation for the arts, Zosia enjoys learning about important topics like politics and religion.
Zosia is very outspoken about the issues impacting people with T1D—she appeared on live television with her Representative, Nancy Pelosi, to talk about the importance of health insurance coverage for everyone. Shortly after her T1D diagnosis, Zosia became a JDRF Youth Ambassador and has raised money through One Walk. She also participated in a clinical trial, and says the experience was “incredible.” Zosia hopes that, through advocacy, “people like me don’t have to consider financials just to stay alive.”
