Diane was born in Northern New Jersey and lived in NJ and NYC most of her life until she packed up everything and relocated to Phoenix, AZ, to escape the snow. She enjoyed everything the desert had to offer, including the short drive to Vegas, California, and Mexico—along with some amazing sunsets and mountain views. However, in late 2023, the ocean began calling, and she relocated a third (and final) time to Charleston, SC, where the beach wasn’t a plane ride away. She lives with three rescued Chihuahuas and a ginger cat who showed up one day and never left. She also has one son who lives in Minneapolis. In her free time, she volunteers at a local animal shelter, draws, and explores local parks. She’s also slowly remodeling her home.

She currently works supporting the THIRDHOME Club in matters of member policy. She enjoys helping members get the most out of their vacations and resolving conflicts if they arise.
