Diana was born and raised in Hesperia, Michigan (SW Michigan) where she graduated
from Hesperia High School. She went on to receive her associate degree from
Muskegon Community College.

Diana spent 15 years with Gerber Products Company as a Public Relations Director for
Gerber Children’s Centers. Leaving Gerber, she went to work for the Newaygo Area
Career Tech Center as a Para-Pro teaching marketing. She went back to MCC and
completed her bachelor’s degree in advertising and marketing. Diana moved to
Muskegon and worked for the Muskegon Chronicle as an Advertising Manager of a 22
team of sales representatives. Diana also wrote for the business section of the
Chronicle.

After the newspaper became digital, she left the Chronicle and was guided to the Non-
Profit sector. Worked for the Alzheimers Association for 3 years. For the next 7 years
she worked for Catholic Charities of West Michigan. Director of God’s Kitchen, Loaves &
Fishes Food Pantry and the Catholic Charities Baby Pantry. It was a big change in my
life to work with people (as volunteers) who wanted to work and to give to their
community.

My journey into Real Estate started when I left CCWM and began working for a Housing
Development project in Coopersville, MI. At VB Development I acted as project
manager with developers and building contractors. I got my Real Estate license in 2016
in Michigan and worked for Greenridge Realty for 8 years. My husband and I began
spending winters in Florida. With aspirations of getting my Florida license I was
introduced to Waterside Realty and received my license just this year.
Presently I work for Waterside Realty Group here in Naples and also in Michigan with
Lakeshore Connection Real Estate, LLC.

When not selling real estate Diana enjoys her grandchildren, traveling, reading and
spending time with family and friends.
