From personal experience Lianna\u2019s dreams, desires and passion to help others\u00a0<\/span>with Diabetes has finally come true. She never thought that one day she would take part in lessening the burdens of Diabetes and hopefully one\u00a0<\/span>day contribute to the cure for Type 1 Diabetes.\u00a0<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n Lianna grew up on Long Island NY, not loving the hustle and bustle of the big city, she attended college at Radford University in Virginia and\u00a0<\/span>graduated with a BS in Recreation Management and Leisure Services. In the year 2000, after graduating from Radford she moved to\u00a0<\/span>Charlottesville where she had a successful career as a Recreational Supervisor for the City of Charlottesville Parks and Recreation for 15 years.\u00a0<\/span>Even though her career was exciting and memorable, Lianna longed for something else that she felt would hopefully be \u201cThe Dream Job\u201d where\u00a0<\/span>she would be able to better other people\u2019s lives in the medical field. She furthered her education and had other jobs dealing with medical\u00a0<\/span>billing and coding, administrative medical assistant and patient care, but still she felt this was not enough. In January 2018, Lianna landed a\u00a0<\/span>career for UVA Continuum Home Health Care as an Administrative Assistant. Her supervisor at Continuum always encouraged Lianna to take as\u00a0<\/span>many educational classes as she could and always better herself. Through her pursuit of becoming the best she can, Lianna came across the\u00a0<\/span>Center for Diabetes Technology and started to investigate the role of a Clinical Research Coordinator. Lianna\u2019s patients and aspirations payed off\u00a0<\/span>and she is now fulfilling her dream.\u00a0<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n Personal Activities:<\/strong> Clinical Research Coordinator Email: lhs7px@uvahealth.org Office: Center for Diabetes Technology 560 Ray C.
