Diane works as an inhouse lawyer at BBC Studios, specialising in intellectual property law, having worked in private practice in Sydney and London. Her work there involves managing a team dealing with social media platforms, and with the potential impact of AI on the creative industries. As a result she is acutely aware of the complexities for young people of navigating social media and fake news with all the wellbeing challenges these pose.

She has lived in Stoke Newington for over 20 years and is closely tied to the local community. She has a strong commitment to state education and previously chaired the parents & teachers forum at her daughter’s primary school, providing the senior leadership team with an opportunity to communicate with the parent body, and parents the opportunity to raise issues of concern with the SLT. Her daughter is currently in Year 10 at Stoke Newington School.

Diane became a Parent Governor in 2024.
