"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." These words by Mahatma Gandhi sum up Dianne's life philosophy - learn, live, and love. Dianne's diverse background and multi-cultural upbringing have taught her that a fulfilled life involves learning as much as possible and sharing these lessons with loved ones.

Dianne was born in the Philippines, but grew up in Saudi Arabia before immigrating to the United States to start high school. She attended California State University, Fullerton on a full scholarship and graduated with a B.A. in International Business and French, as a President's Scholar, and Summa Cum Laude. She has been working in the Finance Industry for almost a decade, and currently serves as the Communications Manager for Morgan Stanley. Her profession has allowed her to work all over the United States but today, she works and resides in New York.

In her spare time, Dianne is an active church volunteer and constantly seeks out both professional and personal growth opportunities. This lifelong passion has led her to join many non-profit organizations and hold numerous leadership positions, most recently within the Philippine-New York Chapter of the Junior Chamber International (JCI).

She thoroughly enjoys board games, musicals, and trying new restaurants. She also adores making lists, writing, and reading. Those who know Dianne best say she is fiercely loyal, extremely resourceful, greatly caring, and is constantly striving to take things to the next level.
