Diana is a writer and teacher based in New Jersey. She earned her PhD in English and Comparative Literature from Columbia University in 2022 and is currently Associate Director of Writing at Princeton University.

Her scholarship and teaching explore the human-environment nexus, focusing on how literature and art from the 19th century to now shape the way we perceive, understand, and interact with the nonhuman world. She is also dedicated to research in pedagogy, with publications on active learning, the politics of teaching citation, and approaches to undisciplining the Victorian classroom.

Her work has been featured in English Literary History, Victorian Literature and Culture, Future Humanities, and Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment, among other journals. She also has chapters in Teaching Gradually: Practical Pedagogy and Classroom Strategies for Graduate Students by Graduate Students (Stylus 2021), Culture and Medicine: Critical Readings in Medical and Health Humanities (Bloomsbury 2022), and The Routledge Companion to Mary Shelley (forthcoming).
