Dianne Mogilevky Carty
Delegate for Missouri
Resettled Refugee from Uzbekistan

Dianne Mogilevsky Carty is the Refugee Congress Delegate for Missouri. She is a resettled refugee who was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

Dianne has more than 10 years of experience in case management, casework, Russian interpretation, event planning, project management, and advocacy. She works as Director of Social Services at Bilingual International Assistant Services, where she works closely with a team of caseworkers to ensure clinical and contract compliance across all social service programs, a senior center, Medicare program counseling and enrollment, and a new program for Missouri Medicaid Expansion. Prior to this, she taught English as a Second Language and worked as a Cartographic Analysis for SAIC, a Department of Defense contractor.

For as long as she can remember, Dianne has volunteered her time, skills, and knowledge to be a service to others, a trait she believes came from her grandmother. She serves on several boards, including the St. Louis Area Agency on Aging Advisory Board, the Advisory Committee for Equitable COVID Vaccine Distribution in Missouri, and the PBS Nine Network Advisory Board, and as a guest member of the Regional Health commission Community Advisory Board. She has also volunteered as a reader at the Mind’s Eye Radio, as a special events volunteer at the Missouri Botanical Gardens, and as a disaster team member with the American Red Cross.

Dianne has received letters of recognition for her work on a tsunami and earthquake relief project in 2004 through her work as a cartographer at SAIC and for backup local assistance for damage assessment and casework during Hurricane Katrina from the American Red Cross. She has also received several recognitions from the Medicare enrollment agency CLAIM for high outreach and enrollment numbers for the past five years.

She has a bachelor’s degree in Geography: GIS and is First Aid, CPR/AED Certified. In her free time, Dianne enjoys doing photography, improving her English with New York Times word puzzles, reading historical fiction, and cooking soups.

“Helping refugees and immigrants is important to me because it's the chosen path for my life’s work. Refugee resettlement gives people who are persecuted and discriminated against a chance to live a decent life, to have opportunities for themselves and their families, and just basic acknowledgement of human dignity, often not afforded to anyone who lives in fear in their home country.”
