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.

For over half a decade, I have been dedicated to connecting our community through writing. What began with publishing on Medium in 2020 quickly expanded to reaching millions of readers across NewsBreak and MSN. I have also brought local stories to print as the Content Coordinator for Duxbury Neighbors Magazine, writing monthly cover features and business profiles. My writing also extends beyond journalism; in October 2021, my short story “Overcoming the Illusion of Limits” was featured in the anthology Chronically Empowered.

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 launched Caring Community Connections in February 2023, a weekly newsletter that rapidly gained over 1k followers and is aimed at helping those living in Southeastern Massachusetts start every week feeling more connected with their local community. Driven by my love for animals and passion for helping support local nonprofits by shining a spotlight on them, I also co-founded the New England Animals newsletter in July 2026, which has gained over 600 subscribers in its first few months.

My creative work extends beyond the written word as well. In 2025, my photography was accepted as part of the Plymouth Center for the Arts' 58th Annual Juried Art Show and was also featured in the 'Visual Inverse 2025: Words & Images in Conversation' exhibit, a collaboration with Hometown Poet Laureates. Continuing my collaboration with the Plymouth Center for the Arts, I am joining their marketing team in August 2026 as an Email Marketing Volunteer to help share their incredible exhibits and events with our community.

Outside of work, you can usually find me exploring New England with my Shih Tzu, Momo, grabbing an iced Caramelou from Marylou's, or reading a Karen M. McManus novel on a rainy day. If you have a story tip or if you're a local business, nonprofit, or tourism board looking to connect, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always excited to hear from members of my community!

Hi, I'm Dianna!
