Diane Zell

I am Mrs. Zell, a 2nd grade Instructional Aide who loves supporting students as they learn, grow and gain confidence in the classroom.  I have been at Our Lady of Mount Carmel for 9 years! 
Building strong relationships with students (and their families!) is one of my favorite parts of my role.  I strive to create a patient and encouraging environment where every child feels supported and valued and achieves a love for learning.
I previously worked in the San Carlos and Redwood City School Districts.  I graduated from Cal Poly, SLO with a BS degree in Home Economics and Early Childhood Development.
I am married and have two children, Olivia (age 30)
and Michael (age 26); and a fur baby,
our Golden Retriever, Sadie Mae.  Spending time in Tahoe with my family is my favorite activity. Tahoe is my “happy place!”
