Diana Melero is born and raised from the Central Coast of California. Her pillar and passion for agriculture stem from her immigrant grandparents that came to this country to provide a better quality of life. Through their hard work and endless sacrifice opened the doors of opportunity to provide a secure and promising future for their families and generations to come.
Her upbringing was heavily influenced by agriculture as she was surrounded by leading state commodities and various row crops.

She looks forward to giving back and supporting her local communities. Lastly, she is proud to pay tribute to her roots by becoming an advocate and voice for farmworkers and farming communities to help create a better future!
