Bio
Melanie Olmstead Pharis
Diana has been an excellent addition to American Board's team. She carved out the role of Curriculum Specialist, exhibits an excellent eye for detail, and eagerly takes on new responsibilities. Her education expertise is clear as she is able to perform standards crosswalks, develop curriculum, and provide remediation when needed. I manage Diana directly and am always pleased with her work, her follow through, and her ability to propose and execute program improvements as needed.
Lisa B. Howell
Diana does a thorough and thoughtful job working with candidates to help them improve their performance in our program. She regularly juggles several sensitive projects that involve quality control, assessment of performance levels, crafting and delivering individualized feedback, and program improvement/material development. She does well in her position and I wanted to commend her for her ability to proactively assess and improve both the structure of our program and the skillset of candidates she is charged with helping.
