Diane currently lives in Acushnet with her husband and 2 children. When she was 3 years old, she immigrated to the United States from the island of Sao Miguel, Azores from a small village called Capelas. She is extremely proud of where she came from and her Portuguese culture is extremely important. Seeing that her parents as well as other immigrants didn’t have many resources to help them because of the language barrier, she decided to get a degree in accounting. Diane is a self-employed business woman, owning her own Accounting firm for over 30 years. In the last couple of years, she has branched out to the Insurance and Financial fields. Her passion for helping others has lead her to be part of many non-profit organizations.
