Space Education is important to Dianea. She works locally and globally with STEM teachers and STEAM educators. In 2023, her focus has been primarily on working with Indigenous youth in northern regions of Quebec and Ontario, as well as underserved youth across the globe. She provides both virtual and in-person presentations/workshops. She aims to inspires her students and educators to interconnect, cross curriculum boundaries, spark students’ curiosity and imagination but also encourages youth of all ages and genders to become increasingly involved in the sciences. Space Education impacts her life coaching, teaching, STEM and STEAM programs alike. She is an alumni of Space Center University - 2008.

For 13 years, Dianea was the lead consultant for the innovative Preschool Program and teacher collaboration program for 21st century school change. In her role as an educational consultant with Lester B. Pearson School Board’s International Studies Program, she led the charge on whole school change at Bangkok Thailand’s Thewphaingarm Canadian International School and has continued as a liaison person.

Dianea created and designed the “Focal Point for Collaboration and Change” and the “Innovative Spaces Project” for elementary schools within her board. Her work impacted whole school 21st century change in five elementary schools.

In her years of teaching with the Inuit of Nunavik, she honed her creative skills and designed hands-on curriculum to increase the communication skills of unilingual Inuktitut speaking children. She credits her experiences as a teacher in the village of Aupaluk’s Tarsakallak School, for providing her with a prodigious start to her teaching career.

 As an entrepreneur she continues to inspire children through her online and onsite Science Yourself! No G’s About It! – space school/robotics STEAM Ed program which inspires over 100 plus students every year. Since 2019 she has been the Canadian Lead Principal Investigator with Magnitude .io ExoLab Plants in Space Program.

Her motto:  "Dream it! Design it! Build it!  We imagine therefore we become!"
