Diana is a nationally recognized Registered Dietitian, Certified
Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), and holds a
Master’s degree in Nutrition Science and Policy from the Tufts
Friedman School of Nutrition.

She began her career in a very different field—after earning a
Bachelor’s degree in Communications from Villanova University,
Diana worked in sports marketing at Major League Baseball for over
three years. But her passion for health and nutrition inspired a
career change. In 2015, she completed her Master’s at Tufts
University and later her dietetic training at Simmons College and UC
San Diego Health, where she worked in clinical settings focused on
diabetes, cardiology, and oncology.

From the start, Diana’s connection to type 2 diabetes was very
personal. She grew up watching family members struggle with the
illness, especially her grandfather who had type 2 diabetes and
relied heavily on insulin without knowing how much diet could help.
During her training, Diana realized just how powerful nutrition and
lifestyle changes can be in reversing and preventing diabetes. That
moment sparked her mission.

She went on to work in various healthcare settings, including
hospitals, outpatient clinics, and a dialysis center. Witnessing
patients undergo dialysis—often caused by diabetes—had a lasting
impact on her. It was heartbreaking, and it fueled her commitment
to preventing such complications through education and lifestyle
change.
