Read Bio
Dianne Mahler has been with Napa Methodist Church for over 10 years. She began working in her grandmother’s Real Estate and Insurance business when she was just 12 years old and credits this early experience and training with her dedication to customer service. Throughout her career she has primarily worked for small businesses, medical and chiropractic offices, even though when she was in college she said the last place she’d ever want to be was behind a desk! Dianne spends a lot of her off work hours with her large family. With two grown children and their spouses and six grandchildren there is always something fun to do. She states working at her church is her favorite job she’s ever had because of the people she serves.
