With an unshakable belief in empowering women to achieve financial independence, Diane has dedicated her career to guiding individuals towards a secure and prosperous future. Like most people, Diane has faced significant obstacles in life. She wasn't born into a wealthy family and had very little money when she left university. But through the financial lessons her mother had shared with her, she was driven to achieve as much as possible. Diane has taken big but educated risks, from house relocations to setting up her first business.Her view is that you can afford to take risks if you stay informed and remain continually aware of what's going on around you.
