She has been in Eugene radio for more than ten years now and many listeners feel she is a friendly and accessible news source for local and national issues. Diana has a degree in Journalism-Communications from the University of Florida along with many years of vocal and performing training.

Contact Diana with local issues and events of concern to you, and she will dig around and get some answers on the air. Diana says that's the challenge of journalism, to empower your listeners in their daily lives. You will find her Weekend Events feature each Friday at kpnw.com under Local Events.
