I am a philanthropist with over four years of experience feeding underprivileged cancer patients in Kenya and raising cancer awareness. As a social media lifestyle influencer (@CANDIDDIANA), I focus on enhancing the quality of life after cancer and promoting awareness of factors that may lead to the disease.

With over 10 years of experience as a higher education professional, I have expertise in student support, alumni relations, career counseling, and accessible and disability services. I also have a strong background in fundraising, successfully managing budgets exceeding $30,000.

Beyond my professional roles, I am a proud mother of three beautiful daughters, a military spouse, and an entrepreneur, producing organic healthy grain flours through my venture, Candid Diana Enterprise.

I am the author of the impactful book “Ensnared: The Toxicity of Anger, Delayed Forgiveness, and Prolonged Grudges,” available on Amazon. As a passionate public speaker, I am best known for my “Pain to Purpose” annual workshop, where I empower individuals who have experienced trauma by providing tools to transform their pain into a purposeful journey.
