Assistant Camp Director

Nursing Director, Multispecialty Clinics, Boston Childrens Hospital

Fran has lived north of Boston her entire life. She received her master’s degree in nursing administration from Northeastern University and works as the Nursing Director in the Emergency Department at Boston Children’s Hospital.

Fran was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in her early 30’s. About ten years after that, her father died from complications of T1D. In an effort to honor her father and support diabetes research, she began participating in fundraising events with the American Diabetes Association (ADA). She participated in two full- and six half-marathons to benefit diabetes research. She has participated multiple times in the ADA New England Classic 150-mile, two-day bike ride to support research and also to financially assist families of children with type 1 diabetes to attend Camp Carefree in New Hampshire.

Fran has been a camper at DTC twice and has found each experience to enrich her life through the education, access to expert resources, and lasting relationships developed with campers and staff. She enjoys all kinds of exercise and learning about new ways to enhance health and wellness.
