Diane has riveting stories, but she is also an accomplished business woman, named one of the inaugural Top 100 National Women in Business by BizWomen.com. She has served on the boards of numerous companies and nonprofit organizations, is a survivor of late Stage 3 breast cancer, and now she’s a patient advisor for a digital therapeutics company. AND she founded the Center for Oncology Psychology Excellence, known as COPE, at the University of Denver. To say she is an inspirational powerhouse with a huge, witty, humble heart would be an understatement.
