Dianne's Story

Hi! After graduation in '83, I went to Community College of Philadelphia and graduated in 1985 with an Associate's Degree in Marketing. I continued my education and enrolled in Glassboro State College (now Rowan University) in Deptford, NJ. I graduated in 1988 with a Bachelor's Degree in Advertising. I worked in various advertising agencies for the next 3 years, until the bottom of the market fell out, basically leaving me unemployed. So, between bartending jobs and my work out schedule, I decided that Physical Therapy was an area I would pursue (and hopefully wouldn't be laid off). I graduated in 1994 with an Associate's Degree in Physical Therapy from Harcum College in Bryn Mawr, PA. The choice was certainly a good career move. For the next 6 years I practiced as a licensed PTA, until 2000. In May 2000, I started a position as a Therapy Recruiter with a staffing company out of Plymouth Meeting, PA. Things went so well that in 3 years, I was promoted to New Business Development Manager. I was opening...Expand for more
therapy markets for this company, which really combined the best of all of my background skills: marketing, advertising and of course, therapy. I left that company just last year to join a colleague who opened her own company, Therapists On Demand. As a partner in the company, I staff, manage and run all aspects of our IL therapy market. Professionally, all is well. Let me not forget to mention, along the way, I got married in 1996 to Ed (Temple grad '90) who works with Nationwide Insurance. We also have 2 children: Sean 10 and Tara 7. Completing our family is Tyson, our 3 year old Welsh Corgi and my mother (since 2006 when my dad passed away). So, that's the scoop about me, I think that is quite a bit of info. I also think I'm getting carpal tunnel (therapy term) from writing this long profile - ha! Look forward to being at the reunion (I think Sept.) Fern (Michaelson) McCloskey still a close friend (also '83) is letting me know it's coming up. Best regards and I wish you all health and happiness, Dianne
