Diane is the daughter of first generation Italian immigrants. Her father spent his first career proudly serving in the American armed forces, which meant that Diane had to move around a lot, growing up mostly on military bases.
And while she has since graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music, performed at Carnegie Hall, won an Emmy Award, collaborated with the legendary Ray Charles, and spent the past ten years working as Managing Director for the Ellison Ballet Foundation where she oversees a multimillion dollar annual budget – Diane’s greatest accomplishment to date has been being a mother.
