Meet Diana Estrada, Nurse Manager at Avenues Recovery Center.
Originally from Karlsruhe, Germany, Diana attended The European School and is bilingual, with proficiency in several other languages. Growing up in a military family, Diana traveled extensively, gaining firsthand insights into military life and veterans' experiences.
Diana's healthcare journey began at the tender age of 14, volunteering with individuals with Down syndrome and obtaining her first responder certification. She then embarked on a path to becoming a Registered Nurse, starting as a Patient Care Tech, Certified Hemodialysis Technician, and EMT before achieving her RN license. Throughout her career, Diana has been driven by her passion for learning and her innate desire to nurture and support others.
As a mother of two sons and a grandmother of five, Diana finds joy in her family and her two English Bulldogs, who are her beloved companions. In her free time, she indulges in her love for travel, swimming, reading, and connecting with people from diverse cultures.
Diana lives by the profound words of Maya Angelou: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
