Q: What drew you to MSUM?

Q: What unique experiences or skills from your last job do you bring to MSUM?

Q: What energizes you at work?

A: I have never received a speeding ticket.
Q: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
A: Here! Fargo-Moorhead because my family is here. My husband, my two adult children and our 11-year-old black lab named Lida. The original plan was to move here for five years and we’re still here! Aside from the cold winters, the summers are beautiful and we enjoy our cabin at the lake!
Welcome to the #DragonFamily, Diane. We’re happy you’re here!
