DIANA WEST misses the forests and ocean of Northwest Washington, although she’s happy to have escaped the rain. She came to Provo to go to BYU and never managed to escape. She has been lucky enough to travel extensively and loves trekking with Walden’s amazing students and faculty to places like India, Turkey, and Guatemala. Diana has worked in education for nearly 30 years in both the public and private sectors, as a preschool teacher, a Montessori literacy teacher, a high school English teacher, and an instructor at Brigham Young University, where she taught Freshmen English and Instructional Methods courses to pre-service teachers. She earned her B.A. in English and M.Ed. in Teaching & Learning at Brigham Young University, where she also completed doctoral work in Instructional Psychology. She completed her Ph.D. in the College of Teacher Education and Leadership at Utah State University. Diana served as Director of Walden School of Liberal Arts from its inception in June 2003 until 2015. She currently serves as Walden’s Business Administrator and Superintendent. She loves being at Walden and spending time with her five children and ten grandchildren. She is married to Bruce, her mad-scientist husband who teaches at USU and is doing his best to turn her into a gardener.
