About Diane

Watching my father survive pancreatic cancer for 18 years, I decided I'd rather be with people than sit behind a desk in an office. I enjoy listening to client's life stories and making their current situation more comfortable. My current client calls me Dimples since I smile so often. We engage in stimulating intellectual and physical activities according to her ability. For the past four years I have helped enable her to stay home rather than moving to a facility. I am a Stamford native, studied at Colgate University and love the Japanese culture, needlepoint and singing.
