Jenna Curcuru, 43 and retired as a Physician's Assistant, Surgical Technologist, Cosmetologist, and Pastry Chef, will share her remarkable journey of resilience and adaptation following her diagnosis of Juvenile Diabetes Mellitus at the age of ten. Despite facing numerous medical challenges, Jenna's spirit remains undeterred.  Jenna offers the unique opportunity to provide different perspectives as a provider, patient, and caregiver of her only son, who has been diagnosed as terminally ill.
