Diana Stolfo is a research clinical assistant at Rutgers University, Rutgers Brain Health Institute and the Krieger Klein Alzheimer’s Research Center. Diana is an advocate for adults with disabilities, including but not limited to Down Syndrome. She has spoken at different organizations such as the Arc of Bergen/Passaic County, National Down Syndrome Society, Rutgers University, the United Nations, and many more! Diana is passionate in helping people with all disabilities, not just Down Syndrome. She believes that all disabilities are different and some individuals have a hard time speaking up for themselves. And so she advocates for those who can’t speak up for themselves to ensure their voices are heard too. Diana has Down Syndrome and claims she feels a special connection to this study because this study highlights the existence of opportunities for people with Down Syndrome. She is excited to be able to help the Down Syndrome community, have her voice be heard, and express herself. She says that the study represents who she is as a person currently and feels at home here. Outside of her advocacy, Diana also enjoys dancing and modeling!
