Gina Ferrari, MSN, MPH, FNP-C, CDCES, joined the team in 2019 as a Type 1 Diabetes and Global Health Equity Research Fellow after completing a dual Master of Science in Nursing/Master of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University.

Her research interests focus on the implementation of training and mentorship programs facilitating behavioral approaches to chronic disease management for clinicians caring for patients in rural areas of low- and lower-middle-income countries. She has a background in diabetes technology research and has spent more than 10 years working at diabetes camps for children in the United States and abroad.

Ferrari currently practices as a clinician and diabetes educator at a Federally Qualified Health Center in San Diego, California, caring for adults with type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Her passion for promoting and providing equitable access to high-quality diabetes care stems from her own Type 1 diabetes diagnosis over a decade ago.
