Diane Worley
Staff Writer

I’ve been a writer all my life. In college, my mentor gave me the penname “dity”, and I have used it ever since. When I decide to go into copywriting, it was a rude awakening to find out how different that writing was from this new style. I spent almost two years learning the craft and sending out applications until Markie and Erica reached out to me.

Becoming a freelancer for Vortala was great; being hired as a staff writer was so affirming for me. I love the camaraderie that exists in every department, and how genuine everyone is. I continue to learn more every day, and am grateful for the support I receive.

It will probably come as no surprise that I’m an avid reader, whenever I get the chance. I’m active in my church, serving as a Trustee, and in the Drama and Spoken Word Ministries. After many years of basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, and other sports, I can no participate, but I enjoy watching just about every sport—except golf!

I love working with children, and spent 17 years as a Girl Scout Leader. And I have 7 godchildren!
