Name: Diane Valle
Pronouns: she/her/hers
Academic Program: Extended Program / 2023
What are you passionate about?: Diane aspires to be a support and source of empowerment for her community, especially for individuals facing adversity due to their immigration status. Diane's experience in the workforce as a Latinx first generation college graduate has fueled her current passion for diversity and inclusion in both nonprofit and corporate settings. She's currently working on a pipeline program that will provide first generation latinx youth the leadership skills, confidence and knowledge they need to advocate for themselves in their pursuit of higher education. Diane's hope is to witness more Latinx folks living the dreams that they imagined as children.
