Diana Gdula

A peace-loving Colorado girl at heart, Diana traded the mountainside for the beach-side of Miami. With a background in journalism and psychology, which she proudly credits to “The U,” Diana enjoyed a stint with luxury-brand PR firm before joining the Haute Living team. At present, she is pursuing her editorial dreams and utilizing her creatively blessed mind to report on luxury lifestyle and all that is haute along the coasts for Haute Living Magazine’s daily blog and regional print publications. When she’s not putting her always rosy and never sarcastic disposition into words, this social butterfly can be found cheering on the 'Canes, walking her cuddly Cavalier dubbed Carlos (Miami talk for Harlow) along the water, dancing to stellar music, succumbing to her weaknesses (if not candy, frozen yogurt, and caffeine, then mainly of the sartorial kind), and reading everything and anything that she can get her Polish (and polished!) hands on.
