MSRD, RPH, CDCES

Diana is a licensed Registered Dietitian, Registered Pharmacist, and a Certified Diabetes Educator. She is a native New Mexican and is bilingual in Spanish. Her area of expertise is in nutrition counseling and the management of pregnant women, with a specialty in pre-existing and gestational diabetes. Her knowledge of Hispanic and Native American food practices allows her to design meal plans that integrate the rich culture of our state.

After 25 years of service, Diana retired from the University of New Mexico as faculty in the department of Obstetrics/Gynecology, division of Maternal Fetal Medicine, UNM School of Medicine. She began her service at UNM as a research nutritionist in women’s health, worked as a pharmacist at Milagro, a substance abuse center for pregnant women and managed the Diabetes in Pregnancy Program. Although she thoroughly enjoys teaching students/ residents/fellows from several disciplines, medical, nutrition, nursing, and pharmacy, her passion remains in counseling women with diabetes to optimize mother and baby outcomes. Her other great passion is travel. “Travel by nature requires us to adapt to new experiences and people. I enjoy learning from my patients as much as I enjoy counseling them throughout  their pregnancy.”
