Diane has been a San Francisco Bay Area resident since 1970 and possesses over 25 years experience in Communications and Marketing.  A Comparative Literature major from the University of California at Berkeley and a deeply dedicated parent and student of life, she is always seeking to expand her worldview, empathy, coping skills, and effectiveness. 

In 2007, two years after the suicide of a loved one, Diane published a non-fiction book entitled Inspirations for Thriving in Our Troubled World which ultimately became the initial foundation of this website.  The goal of the book and the website is to share a passion for quality of life with regard to ongoing research in the fields of sociology, psychology, environmentalism, philosophy, interpersonal relations, health, and spirituality.  It is her sincerest hope that QualityOfLifeNews.com informs visitors how to begin or continue influencing significant change—a form of social activism on a personal and familial level—one positive thought and action at a time.
