Board Trustee

Trustee Since: 2022

Trustee Diebert was elected to the Board in 2022 and is in her second term as Trustee for the Madera Unified Governing Board representing Area 2. Trustee Diebert is a retired classified employee who worked for Madera Unified School District (MUSD) for 32 years. Trustee Diebert was born and raised in Lima, Peru. Trustee Diebert moved to the US at the age of 21. Like many immigrants, the challenges were many, but her dreams were bigger. Trustee Diebert attended high school and college in Lima, Peru. Trustee Diebert moved to Madera in 1989 and right away started her career at Madera Unified and moved up the ranks from Teacher’s Aide to Senior Executive Assistant. Trustee Diebert believes that success is measured by the accomplishments of one’s own goals and objectives in life, and while employed by MUSD, the implementation of Student Board Members to the MUSD Board was one of her biggest accomplishments. Trustee Diebert worked closely with the Governing Board and the Superintendent to ensure they had the information necessary to bring students to this leadership position. Trustee Diebert assisted and coached the first “class” of Student Board Members to be successful leaders at their own high schools, in their Student Voice meetings, and represent their schools at board meetings by addressing their peers' needs and requests. Ever since Trustee Diebert has witnessed how Student Board members have raised the voice of students at a higher level.
