The recently crowned Mrs. Central Florida US Continental will compete for the title of Mrs. Florida US Continental in June. Dianne Thomas-Roberts, a Sorrento resident and president of Redd Ash Technologies, is a native of Jamaica and brings her Caribbean hospitality, resourcefulness, and charm to everything she does. She will compete for her new title on Saturday, June 12, in Stuart, Florida.

Dianne is active in her Central Florida community and is passionate about philanthropy, especially initiatives that support women and girls. She is a graduate of Leadership Orlando, Class of 1997, and currently serves as a board member for Harbor House of Central Florida, a state-certified domestic violence shelter that provides safe haven for victims of domestic violence.

Of her many accomplishments, Dianne describes obtaining her U.S. citizenship in 2005 as one of her proudest moments. “Central Florida is home; a place where I feel balanced. Here in America, I am closest to those who align with all that matters to me, and Florida reminds me each day of my fondest childhood memories in Jamaica,” she says in the release.
