What do I enjoy most about being a college consultant?
Visiting colleges and sharing information about a school’s culture and the variety of opportunities with college-bound teens. Watching them delight in the possibilities is the most rewarding aspect of my job.
Diana has a passion for helping students discover the colleges that fit their unique talents and interests. She successfully coached students through their college search for several years prior to joining the College Connectors team. Her greatest satisfaction comes from sharing her knowledge with students and witnessing their excitement as their educational paths emerge.
Diana is the parent of two young adults. Outside of work she enjoys recreational activities that include: a good game of cribbage, biking Iowa trails, and bareboat sailing Caribbean waters with her family.
