Dianna Russini Biography
As a child, Dianna was extremely curious. She attended Old Tappan High School in New Jersey where her interest in journalism grew. However, due to her immense passion for sports, Dianna never fully settled on journalism. In high school, she was a 4 sport All-State athlete, playing basketball, soccer, softball, and track. Her weakest sport was soccer and her strongest, track. However, she also excelled quite well in basketball with Brian Dunn as her head coach. Despite being a 5-foot-6 forward, Russini was a three-year starter for the varsity basketball team.
After graduating from high school, Russini enrolled at George Mason University (Fairfax, Virginia campus) as a soccer walk-on. Despite being her weakest sports, she was bent on proving to her friends that she’d make it at the Division 1 level. And she did as she rapidly improved to become the team’s starting striker by her sophomore year. Russini didn’t abandon her interest in journalism though, after her soccer practices, she’d intern with some local radio stations. However, she remained unsettled on which one to focus more on until 2001, the 9/11 attacks happened.
As a college student, Russini became a Student Sideline Reporter for Comcast from 2003 until her graduation year in 2005. Russini graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism. For two years, between 2005 and 2007, she reported for News 12 Westchester.
