Diana is originally from Connecticut, but has spent most of her life in the Seattle area and is a graduate of Western Washington University. She has over 25 years of service with King County, including seven years in project management and ten years in operations management for the Sheriff’s Office. Her experience and interest in labor issues, policy development, and problem solving led her to the Office of Labor Relations, where she has worked as a negotiator since 2019. Diana’s initial area of focus has been on labor issues related to adult and juvenile detention, but she has enjoyed opportunities to support the various departments and wide ranging services of the County. In her spare time, she enjoys attempting recipes above her skill level, binge-watching the recommendations of her friends, and sailing with her husband near their home in Browns Point.
