By day, Diana is the Internet & Communication Technologies Coordinator at Westridge School for Girls in Pasadena, CA. Basically, she teaches Web [re]search skills and co-advises the school newspaper.

And by night, Diana runs two other online publications -- BeTwinned, a blog for parents of twins and multiples, and inSierraMadre.com, a community journalism site for Sierra Madre, CA.

Diana was also moonlighting as the Digital Diva for the LATimes.com's education blog School Me! until the blog went on hiatus. For now, readers can find the Digital Diva in her new digs at eDigitalDiva.typepad.com.

In the spring of 2007, Diana helped kick off the parenting section for Disney's Family.com with the blog Mommy! Mommy!.

Diana's writing career started in 2004, when she left a perfectly good job in order to attend USC's Annenberg School for Communication, where she was a Dean's Scholar.

With support and love from her husband and children, Diana achieved her childhood dream and completed her M.A. in journalism in May 2006, when she also won the Outstanding Graduate Student in Online Journalism Award.

While at USC, Diana was managing editor of the Online Journalism Review's readers' blog. She was also a 2006 summer fellow in a Carnegie-Knight reporting initiative called News 21.

Before attending USC, Diana was a schoolteacher and reading specialist for 14 years in both Philadelphia and Pasadena. Diana earned a B.A. in English and an M.S. in Secondary Education, both from St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia.

Diana lives in the Los Angeles area with her husband, a graphic artist and editorial cartoonist, and their 4-year-old twin daughters.
