Bio

Hi! I am Diana, a Haitian-American pursuing a bachelor's health degree in Communication Disorders. I grew up in a very small town in Connecticut for almost all my life. Since the 6th grade, I've always yearned for an opportunity to venture outside of the norms and experience the creativity of life. After graduating high school, I've been on the journey of finding myself, all while trusting in God. Although I just finished my first year of college, I've achieved many goals. Such goals include securing not one, but two on-campus jobs that have brought me so close to my college's community, getting on the Dean's List for both the fall and spring semesters, and taking my first steps toward an accelerated pathway to graduate school, which will help me become part of the 4.9% of Black/African American speech-language pathologists. Driven by my passion, my purpose is to spread love and build lasting connections within education and eventually, in a healthcare setting.
