UPPER KEYS NEIGHBOR OF THE WEEK: STELLA DIAZ

Spotlighting the amazing individuals who live and work in the Upper Keys

No matter how many individuals appear in the pages of each edition of Keys Weekly, there are always so many more of our community members who deserve to be recognized. In an effort to shine a spotlight on more of the incredible individuals who live and work in these islands, Keys Weekly is proud to spotlight our Neighbor of the Week feature, dedicated to celebrating a community member with each issue.

This week’s neighbor is Stella Diaz, Key Largo resident and branch manager of the pest-fighting Truly Nolen of America. Diaz has worked there for 25 years.
