Diane’s career goal is to help others feel confident in themselves, both physically and emotionally. Her interest in health and wellness has led her towards a career path as a physician assistant.

As Miss Alabama USA, Diane hopes to inspire and empower others to live life to the fullest by encouraging clean eating, exercise, and work-life balance. She plans to implement workshops for the next generation to teach skills imperative to developing and maintaining this lifestyle.
One of Diane’s favorite ways to achieve this balance is by prioritizing dedicated down time in her everyday life. Whether catching up with friends, reading a favorite book or trying a new recipe, dedicated down time helps keep her positive and stress free. Diane’s favorite way to relax and unwind after a long day is with an outdoor walk, specifically at sunset. This time gives her the chance to decompress and clear her mind, all while getting in a little bit of healthy exercise.
