Vanessa Messenger

Vanessa Messenger is a Mom, a Product Lead at Google, and considering she's been a Type 1 Diabetic since 2010, she's also fulltime pancreas! With her background in Psychology and Broadcast Communications, she's always been impassioned by creating a connection with people through Storytelling. After receiving so much support and encouragement from the deep-rooted community of "diabuddies," she was determined to help create that same sense of belonging and connection for T1D kids through Teddy Talks.
