She was born in Utica on January 17, 1979 a daughter of Simona (Fonzi) and Frank Cerminaro.

Diana attended Utica Public Schools, always receiving the highest marks and graduated TR Proctor High School at the top of her class. She went on to, Albany College of Pharmacy, again graduating Cum Laude for academic achievements.
