Her Interview
Ten minutes with Diana
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to the strong foundation my parents helped me build, which instilled resilience, values, and confidence from an early age. I also credit my willingness to speak out and embrace opportunities to share my voice—these qualities have allowed me to advocate effectively, take initiative, and grow both personally and professionally.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
"Knowledge is Power" - Sir Francis Bowen
Take all the knowledge you learn from every opportunity you receive and apply it in all aspects of your life. That is how we learn to grow and evolve, continuing to better ourselves throughout time.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
“My advice to young women entering this industry is to embrace every opportunity, including volunteering, as each experience builds skills and perspective. Leverage the relationships you form along the way—they are invaluable for learning, support, and growth. I also strongly recommend finding a mentor, someone who can guide you, challenge you, and help you navigate your career path with confidence.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Being a neurodivergent person, I have learned that it can be hard to navigate in a world that was not automatically designed to support me. After years of masking and camouflaging my differences, I have learned to recognize that it is better to be my authentic self in which I empower others along with myself, for our voices to be heard. I feel it is my purpose in life to work with companies and organizations to truly understand ways to support neurodivergent adults, as we all have the potential to contribute to the community and society in a positive manner; all it takes is the right support and environment to feel that one can truly show their potential.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Allowing others voices to be truly heard. As a neurodivergent woman, I have been praised and encouraged to blend in with the crowd, but this was at a cost of hiding a critical part of myself. For this reason, I often say while everyone may think I am horse like everyone else, I actually am a unicorn that was meant to sparkle and shine.
