Following her collegiate career, Diane played professionally for the Racing Club de Cannes in France for two years.  Her team went on to win the French National Championship both years she played for them.  Diane was also selected to the All-Tournament Team for the San Remo, Italian International Volleyball Tournament in her second year.  On her return to the states, Diane was the Assistant Volleyball Coach at UNC-Chapel Hill upsetting her alma mater in the ACC Championship.  She played club ball for a few years with her younger sister winning the NC State Games Gold Medal in 1989.

Diane was inducted into the Chapel Hill High School Hall of Fame twice, first in 2003 for her volleyball and basketball achievements and then again in 2017 as a member of the 1982 AAAA State Championship Women’s Basketball Team. 

Diane coached Youth Soccer and Basketball for over 7 years. In 2012, Diane’s daughters told her they wanted to play volleyball and she has been coaching nothing but volleyball since then. Diane coached at Lucas Middle School for 4 years, wherein her last season in 2016 they were the Undefeated District Champions, not losing a single set all season.  She joined the Northern High School Coaching Staff in 2015 and currently serves as their Head JV Coach. 

Diane became a part of the Jammers coaching family in 2013. She started with the 13 Blue Team and has since served as an assistant coach for 13 Red, 14 Red, and 15 Red.  Her 15 Red Team finished 4th at Capitol Hill in 2017, where one of her Outside Hitters was selected the Best U15 Attacker at the tournament.  In 2017 Diane became an interim member of the Jammers board but continues to coach in a backup capacity.

Diane is the single parent of two wonderful daughters, Alyssa and Ashlyn, who also share her love for volleyball. Alyssa is an Outside Hitter at Northern High School in the class of 2019 and Ashlyn is a Setter/Hitter at Northern in the class of 2021. Both girls have played volleyball for Jammers since 7th grade.  Diane enjoys camping, swimming, hiking, and riding rollercoasters with her girls.
