Mary Jane earned her degree in Psychology from the University of New Hampshire, and later her masters in Health and Wellness Management from Merrimack College. She was diagnosed with T1D at age 21, which certainly was not part of the plan for her senior year of college! After taking time to acclimate, Mary Jane joined the diabetes community (both in person and online), and soon found a passion for connecting with those affected by T1D.
