Diana’s family relocated to Las Vegas from Santa Barbara, California, when she was just a year old. So basically, she’s been here all her life. A graduate of Western High School, she attended PIMA Medical Institute where she earned her certificate as a Veterinary Assistant. As a child, Diana wanted to become a teacher because she liked helping others. Now she uses her skills to help people and their pets. In her role at HAV Diana connects pet owners who need financial aid with local resources. She also runs the Pets for Life program for targeted zip codes. What does she like best about her job? “Assisting community members and their pets, especially during these challenging times,” she says. Prior to joining Hearts Alive Village Diana was with the Animal Foundation. On weekends, Diana and her family love to go off-roading and explore new trails. Her favorite travel destination is the beach. But, she admits, she doesn’t go into the ocean because “it’s too cold!”
