Diana Canales

Institute Coordinator

Diana is the Institute Coordinator, where she supports daily operations and projects. She was drawn to the Annenberg Institute by its mission to advance more equitable educational opportunities, inspired by her dedication to creating systemic change for underserved communities. 

Before joining Annenberg, Diana supported fundraising and daily operations at Providence Student Union, a local non-profit helping students advocate for equitable education policy and safe schools in Providence. 

She holds a B.A. in Sociology from Providence College, where her research and work focused on education and helping low-income first-generation students access higher education. When she is not at work, she enjoys playing tennis or walking her dog and adventuring around the different state parks around Rhode Island.
