New Mexico Youth Day Events

Diane Ricks, Agent

Diane was born and raised in Albuquerque, NM, and she is proud to say she graduated from Albuquerque High School, home of the Bulldogs, in 1976. She worked for First Security Bank in Albuquerque as Director of safe deposit coordinator.

After 15 years in the banking business, she needed a change to something more rewarding.  Diane was offered an opportunity to became a Treatment Foster Care Parent through La Familia Inc; and she says that “this is the most exciting, and rewarding opportunity I have had for over 11 years”.

She has been married to her first love, Keefe Ricks, for over 28 years, and has been blessed with five beautiful kids: Tekisah, Aaron, Tenadia, Alon, and Shanika Ricks, and three grandchildren.

“I really enjoy helping kids stay on the right track with their education, but most of all just being apart of an organization who care for those in need!” she says.
