Influential Women Spotlights Diana Loubeau, Ed.D: Director of Academics at Doctors Charter School of Miami Shores
Influential Women proudly recognizes Diana Loubeau, Ed.D, in its prestigious 2025 series, celebrating her as a dedicated educational leader with over 25 years of experience transforming student outcomes and community connections within Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Currently serving as the Director of Academics at Doctors Charter School of Miami Shores, Diana focuses on empowering educators and fostering a culture where every student is challenged, supported, and inspired to excel.
Diana’s journey in education began with a strong academic foundation, earning her Bachelor’s degree in Visual Disabilities from Florida State University and her Master’s degree in Exceptional Student Education from Barry University, followed by a Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership and Management from Capella University. Throughout her career, Diana has played a transformative role in guiding schools from low performance to high achievement. Her leadership is defined by setting high expectations, empowering educators and students, and fostering meaningful engagement among all stakeholders. Her passion for inclusive education shines through her extensive work with students who are blind, visually impaired, or have special needs, along with her advocacy for behavior management and mental health support. Diana’s impact reflects not only her dedication to academic excellence but also her enduring belief in the power of empathy, equity, and access for every learner.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Diana is deeply passionate about creating meaningful opportunities for her students and the broader community. She successfully launched a health science program for middle schoolers to ignite early interest in the medical field, demonstrating her belief in early exposure to diverse career paths. Additionally, she has organized community events like the Healthcare Back-to-School Fair, aimed at providing families with vital resources and information to support their children’s health and education.
Diana’s impact extends far beyond the schools she’s served. As a parent speaker at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, she turns her own experience with premature birth into a beacon of hope and comfort for families facing similar challenges. Her compassion radiates in every story she shares and every hand she holds.
Even after Soldiers for a Cure, Inc., the nonprofit where she once served as Vice President, came to a close, Diana’s legacy of advocacy remains strong. During her tenure, she worked tirelessly to raise awareness and critical funds for health issues affecting the African American community through the organization’s annual event, Partying with a Purpose. The initiative brought people together not just to celebrate, but to make a difference, merging joy with purpose and community impact.
Her journey is one defined by heart and humanity, a reminder that true leadership begins with service and the willingness to lift others through love, empathy, and action.
Diana’s outstanding contributions have not gone unnoticed. In 2024, she was honored as a Semi-Finalist for Principal of the Year in her region and previously recognized as an Influential Woman in Education by Pearls of Wisdom in 2018. She credits her faith in God and the steadfast support of her mentors and loved ones, GGW, her sister Sophia, and brother-in-law Corey, her daughter Jaden, and one of her best friends, Phileeepo, for helping shape her journey. Rooted in her love for children and deeply influenced by her mother’s firm yet nurturing guidance, as well as her father’s enduring lesson to never settle for average, Diana continues to lead with gratitude, grace, and a heart devoted to excellence.
“Everyone can be seen; sometimes, you just have to help people sharpen their lens.” This perspective beautifully reflects Diana’s steadfast commitment to inclusion and representation in education. To young women entering the field, especially in the areas of leadership where women remain underrepresented, she offers heartfelt advice: trust the process, stay anchored in purpose, and remain committed to your growth and beliefs.
Despite the accolades, Diana has faced significant challenges in her role, particularly in balancing the demands of leadership and single motherhood while prioritizing her own wellness. Yet, she views this challenge as an opportunity: to redefine what effective leadership looks like by modeling balance, resilience, and authenticity. Her mission includes creating pathways for Haitian women and the next generation to thrive in their pursuits.
At the heart of Diana’s work and personal life are the values of resilience, discipline, and gratitude, deeply rooted in her Haitian upbringing. She emphasizes the importance of family, taking responsibility for one’s actions, and the power of education, while also recognizing that true success comes from maintaining a healthy balance between work and life, and intentionally infusing self-care along the way. Above all, Diana strives to lead with purpose, create space for representation, and leave a legacy of thriving rather than merely surviving.
Outside of her professional life, Diana is wholeheartedly family-oriented and finds joy in journaling, shopping, working out, and reading self-improvement books. Her love for game shows and puzzles mirrors her natural curiosity and passion for lifelong learning and critical thinking. Diana’s dedication to both her family and her career reflects a holistic approach to leadership and personal growth, one that inspires those around her to pursue excellence, balance, and positive change.
