Diane's Story
Life
Just moved to Brooklyn from the D.C. area after living down there for 13 years. Big adjustment, particularly in the bank account! Not quite ready to let go of the South--I still own a home in Virginia.
College
I went to the University of Maryland for a degree in journalism. During my junior year, I switched my area of concentration from News-Editorial to Public Relations. It was destiny. After completing a non-profit PR internship my senior year, I continued my career in non-profits (except for the short stint as a veterinary surgery technician).
Workplace
I'm the associate director of the Brooklyn Tech Alumni Foundation. Tech is one of the country's premier specialized high schools for math, science and engineering.
The students here are amazing. During their junior and senior years, they major in programs like architecture, civil engineering, industrial design, mechanical engineer...Expand for more
ing and biomedical sciences. Their course of study at Tech over those 2 years is equivalent to 5 years of in-depth study elsewhere.
The school is in downtown Brooklyn and is HUGE--nine floors! It has a DNA lab, a forensics lab, and the students build a large-scale house inside the school each year.
Previous gigs:
Independent event, program and PR consulting for various D.C.-area orgs, including Fairfax County Public Schools, a video production company, restaurants and a few Italian-American organizations.
Prior to that I worked as the communications manager at The Sons of Italy Foundation for nearly 6 years.
Military
This is funny...at the ripe age of 30, I went to an Army recruiter. Took the ASVAB and scored in the 99th percentile (suppose I shouldn't brag since it's based on an 8th grade education). That notion lasted all of 2 months before I abandoned it to resume a more practical life.
