Diamond Bergeron

---

Diamond Bergeron is a 6th generation South Florida native who has spent her entire life in the heart of the swamp. Her deep love for the environment and its wildlife, and her desire to protect it, were inspired by her father “Alligator” Ron from a very young age. 

Her childhood was spent in the seat of an airboat, on the back of a horse, and under the crown of centuries old Cypress trees. While a third-year student at the University of Miami, Diamond made a bold move to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue a career in music. In the midst of writing songs, she completed her senior year at Belmont University, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and business administration. 

With the intent to continue pursuing her musical aspirations, Diamond felt pulled by her deep-seated roots to return home and immerse herself in the advocacy of Everglades restoration and conservation. As she has said, “I came home because I knew that music would always be there—but the Everglades may not be. Right now, it needs my voice much more than a song does.” Diamond currently serves as the Vice President of the Bergeron Everglades Foundation, as well as the Board of Directors of the Alligator Ron Bergeron Everglades Museum. 

Through her unwavering commitment to community engagement, outreach, and the cultivation of a new generation of conservationists, Diamond continues to champion the preservation of her natural heritage, ensuring that the majesty of the Everglades thrives for all to cherish and protect in perpetuity.
