Diana grew up as a Navy brat, so her family couldn't keep dogs and cats regularly. She would satisfy her desire to spend time with animals by visiting neighbors' pets. It wasn't long before dreams of working in the veterinary profession started to form!

After graduating high school in Virginia, Diana attended California State Polytechnic University in Pomona to study Animal Science, earning her degree in 2005. She then moved to Costa Mesa with friends, working for a year at a local kennel before joining the VCA Airport Irvine Animal Hospital team in the summer of 2006. 

Currently Diana resides with her two active foster fail cats, Fry and Pickle, playing games such as "Find the Cat" and "Does this Cat Belong here?!?". On her days off she enjoys volunteering around Upper Newport Bay on her days off pulling weeds and helping with water and walking tours, reading lots of different books, and spending time with friends.
