On the VERY FIRST EPISODE of the DiaBeatThis! podcast, we chat with student and community activist Haley Owens. Haley is very active in the T1D community and so many more. She's the Head Counselor of the Camp Possibilities Leadership In Training program, the founder of the UMBC College Diabetes Network, and co-founder and vice president of We Believe You. I had so much fun with Haley as we discussed topics such as her minor in mideival studies, what creating the LIT program at Camp Possibilities was like, how the College Diabetes Network can help you if you're transitioning to college, and how she has gotten involved in the community relating to interpersonal violence.
