ABOUT DIANA PARKS

A consummate collaborator and coach, Diana fell in love with nonprofits while working on a community services project at work. Inspired by the impact of education and opportunity for those in need, Diana quickly developed a deep passion for charitable work and servant leadership. Believing strongly in the power of relationships, influence, and coaching, she thrives on complex projects that encourage strong community connections, wellness, inclusion, and growth (through learning, of course!). Nearly 20 years later, with education and instructional design providing a strong foundation for all sorts of impactful work, Diana provides leadership, direction and support to some pretty cool projects that serve community, help people learn and thereby literally change lives. She is happy spending her days keeping Nova Scotia an amazing place to live and work, one program at a time.
