I’ve learned that the right mindset will set you apart, manifestation is real, and dreams do come true.
Hi! I’m Diana, like Rihanna, with a D like doorknob!! I was born in Bogota, Colombia. My dad crossed the Rio Grande by foot in 1984, shortly after my birth, due to the ongoing socioeconomic struggles in my country. In 1986, I landed, via plane, in Boston, Mass. We settled in Manchester, NH—live free of die! It’s the furthest place from the boarder (cue the laugh track).
Although I was a stranger in a new world, I learned English by watching cartoons like Eurika’s Castle, Sesame Streem and later, Doug and Bobby’s World. Soon I became bi-lingual.
At Manchester Central High School I was an active member of the student government, played 12 seasons of sports, and took art classes such as ceramics and photography. From Cheerleading to Field Hockey, I thrived in team sports. At The University of Vermont I fell deeply in love with Burlington and took my first theater class with the one and only Peter Jack Tkatch. Frankly, I had no idea what I was doing—but it felt good and I was hooked!
After college I packed my Honda Civic with 2 friends and drove due west to Los Angeles. I’ve since trained, auditioned and worked! In 2020 I completed my first short film titled, Fernanda.
I train at Lesly Kahn & Co., and just wrapped “The Way We Speak,” my first leading role in a feature film alongside Better Call Saul’s Patrick Fabian and played a role in the feature “Incarcerated.” You can catch me on Law & Order SVU season 24 episode 7 too!
