Diana was born in Rome, Italy and speaks Italian, French and English. She began her artistic journey as a small child in Ballet, Classical Piano and Classical Voice before discovering the power of the spoken word on Stage. While she was accepted into Visual Arts (painting) and Musical Theatre programs, she chose to attend a four-year conservatory Theatre program at the University of Toronto, with fellow graduates including Joshua Vokey of 'Orphan Black', and has trained in both New York City and Los Angeles, as well. Diana's performances have been called "fearless" and "explosive", her singing "smooth, sweet and sophisticated". With a specialty in movement and voice work and a proficiency in dialects/accents, Diana can transform herself from the macho jockey, to the romantic ingenue, to the intellectual professional and move as easily from Comedy to Drama to Fantasy. Diana owns an international business, which she builds alongside her Acting career. When she is not on set or on stage, she enjoys collaborating on projects as a producer and production coordinator. Diana had the pleasure of Directing the French language episodes of Beauport and Valcartier in 'The Camps' and Assistant Directing the Montreal episode. 'The Camps' is a documentary series which will begin airing online September 8, 2016. Most recently, Diana played the female lead in a Pirandello adaptation called 'Masquerade' as "Nadia, the Ferrari of Women" to sold-out audiences in Canada's Theatre Mecca of Stratford. Diana is currently signed on to 3 films in pre-production including 'The Entertainer' of Dead Mariachi Films, the production company which screened two short films in Cannes 2016.
