Hi, I'm Dianna!
I'm an independent writer and local content creator based in Massachusetts with a passion for uplifting small businesses and promoting a sense of togetherness in my community. My articles center around local events, small business news, and trending topics within Massachusetts. I also love telling people's stories through interviews and profiles, highlighting the unique individuals within our community.
My background might surprise you – I actually worked in Early Childhood Education before making a career change in 2020 to fully embrace my passion for connecting our community through writing. I began publishing on Medium in 2020, NewsBreak in 2021, and MSN in 2023, before starting my own newsletter in 2023. In October 2021, my short story ‘Overcoming the Illusion of Limits’ was published in the inspiring book Chronically Empowered. For one year from 2022 to 2023, I also served as the Content Coordinator for Duxbury Neighbors Magazine, where I was responsible for writing the monthly cover story as well as local business profiles.
By encouraging my online audience to attend community events, shop locally, and get to know their neighbors, I hope to help bring people together and connect with those around them. Creating content that makes a positive impact on the community is my top priority. That's why I also started Community Connections, a free weekly newsletter aimed at helping those living in Southeastern Massachusetts to start every week feeling more connected with their local community. It was launched in February 2023 and has rapidly grown to over one thousand active subscribers. To join the Community Connections mailing list, click here.
Outside of work, I love exploring nature, traveling, and reading - especially on rainy days! If you have a story tip or if you're a local business looking to connect, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always excited to hear from members of my community!
