Diane's Story
After HS, I attended SUNY Farmingdale for Advertising Art & Design. I didn't have what it takes according to one of my teachers. I switched my major to Computer Science, but that wasn't right for me either. I decided to go to Nassau Community College & try Accounting since I always liked math. I did well & received my Associate's Degree from NCC. Since I had to pay for school myself I went at night while working during the day. My first job was at JCPenney in Roosevelt Field. I stayed there for 2 years until I found DTCC. I worked at DTCC for 20 years and took advantage of their tuition reimbursment program. I continued my education at Hofstra University majoring in Banking &...Expand for more
Finance. I received my Bachelor's degree in 1997. In 2001, DTCC closed their Garden City office & I had to transfer to the NYC office.
I met my husband in 1993 & we got married in 1996. We adopted our dog in 1999 after unsuccessful tries at conceiving a baby. After 2 miscarriages and many IVFs, I finally had twins in Dec 2006. I was able to receive a nice severence package from DTCC while on maternity leave and have been a stay-at-home mom ever since. I have a boy & a girl who are now 5 and will be in kindergarten in Sept 2012! I still live on Long Island (Suffolk County). If anyone wants to get in touch, please do...I would like to have more adults to talk to these days!
