Diamond is overjoyed to now be in the Bluegrass state and ecstatic to be a Kentuckian. She is honored to tell the important stories of people in the state and looks forward to it everyday she wakes up. Community is one of the most important aspects of this job for her. She is dedicated to building valuable relationships in the Kentucky community and getting the facts right. 

Her favorite thing to do is trying local restaurants in Lexington. When she’s not finding new restaurants to try or chasing stories you can find her watching Hulu, shopping or hanging out with her family and friends.
