Who We Are
Diana Moya Lapeira
CEO & Founder
I am a first-generation immigrant from Costa Rica residing in the United States. Due to my background, I am acutely aware of the educational inequality in society and the importance of community service. I am passionate about utilizing my resources to help others, whether by tutoring students in AP Calculus, creating crocheted flowers for teachers at my school, fundraising to support children’s education in Costa Rica, or any other means of giving back to my community. Through volunteer work and fundraising efforts, I aim to positively impact the lives of others and contribute to the betterment of society. You can contact me at dianamoya@rivieraschools.com or any of the Loops of Kindness social media accounts.

Vice President & Content Manager
I joined Loops of Kindness because I love to crochet and would love to share this beautiful craft with others. Education holds a very important role in my life, and I feel crochet defines a part of who I am.
