with her sister, four turtles, two tortoises and number of Betta tanks and one dog. After graduating from
South Lake High School in 1966, she was admitted to Wayne State University where she received an
undergraduate degree in Bachelor of Arts. She continued her education to receive a Master’s Degree in
Education and a Master’s Degree in Learning Disabilities.
Diane went on to begin her teaching career at Ferry Elementary School in Detroit where she taught
grades from first to third. Given the opportunity to change her teaching position, Diane accepted a
teacher position in the preschool where she remained until retiring in 2004.
Diane’s interest has always been to incorporate the use of animals in all of the subjects presented in her
classroom. She took this opportunity to take her classes on field trips to the city zoo, the children’s zoo
and aquarium.
Diane’s love of animals has given her the opportunity to photograph wildlife. She volunteered to be a
docent at the city zoo where she continued educating visitors especially children about the animals and
their behaviors and habitats.
She supports many conservation organizations that bring awareness to the public about the many
animals that are suffering from many dangers that are causing their numbers to sadly decrease to a level
of near extinction.
Diane’s current position is as Director of Youth Education at the Belle Isle Aquarium in Detroit where she
teaches the world of marine life and the dangers facing our oceans.visualizza meno
