bio
Diana began her career with Fort Worth ISD’s American Indian Education Program. This program is funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs/Office of Indian Education. The purpose of the program was to work with the parents and community to provide an educational support network for American Indian children to help their successful graduation. After raising her children past elementary school age and raising the program's participation rate by 47%, she took on the role of Executive Director of the American Indian Chamber of Commerce of Texas. The Chamber’s focus was to grow new and existing First Nations businesses in the great state of Texas. During her time with the chamber, she is most proud of her work, with her Board of Directors to solidifying partnerships with Native American Chambers across the country, creating opportunities for First Nations businesses in Texas to expand outside the state. In 2012 Diana accepted the position of Tribal Administrator of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma. She reported directly to the Tribal Chairman and managed a $9.4Mil budget with 71 full-time employees. As a citizen of the Caddo Nation (and the Euchee Nation) this position was a true labor of love for her. Diana has served on the Boards of the American Indian Center and the United Way Diversity Council of Tarrant County. Diana currently serves on boards for Texas Native Health, Metro Caddo Culture Club, Democracy is Indigenous – TX, Native American Advisory Board at University of Texas @ Arlington. She volunteers for MMIW-TX Rematriate and the Indigenous Institutes of the Americans and serves on several committees across North Texas. Diana is the CEO/owner of Prolora. Prolora provides automation of industrial PLC based equipment. Her current community focus is providing free or low-cost self-defense classes for women and increasing the political participation among American Indian populations in Texas.  Diana is available for IoT automation technology, cultural educational and diversity trainings.
