DIANA DIGANGI (she/her) was born and raised in the suburbs outside Washington D.C. She holds both bachelor's and master's in journalism from Virginia Commonwealth University, where she started her journalism career in television news, then returned to the D.C. area to pursue work as an investigative journalist. She now covers the federal government full-time while writing fiction in her spare time. In the tiny sliver of her day that she spends not writing, she likes to bike the trails in D.C. and Arlington, grill out with friends, play video games, and help her parents take care of the family whippets.
