Equestrienne Spotlight

Equestrienne: Diana De Rosa, Equine Journalist

Diana De Rosa is an equine journalist and you will likely have seen her work! I had the pleasure of meeting her multiple times as co-founder of the Equus Film Festival, and she has been a whirlwind this year. She recently returned from the Tokyo Olympic Games, Equitana USA where she moderated multiple panels and covered the event for EQUUS Television, and most recently the Tryon Film Festival! She is a powerhouse of energy and I honestly don’t know how she does it.

Journalist, Diana de Rosa.

Biography

I am a journalist (writer and photographer: www.dianaderosa.com), owner of Press Link PR, part time actress (www.dianaderosa.net), on the Equitana USA Team as Equine Media and Relations Coordinator, Co-Organizer of the EQUUS Film Festival, Digital Media Producer for the Tryon International Film Festival and more. I also handle mansions and residential properties available for location scouts to view. I am a HubPages Columnist and Equine Journalist. I’ve traveled to over 30 countries doing stories, covered 8 Olympic Games, worked with the late Christopher Reeve for 8 years as his on the road assistant. I did TV reporting for WVVH for many years and still do all types of reporting (writing, audio, video and VoiceOvers). I also am a professional photographer, do video interviews, zoom interviews and moderate panels. I’m always ready to take on a new challenge or client, photograph an event, family, function or individual or cover your event. I am interested in any acting projects that are SAG-AFTRA. I especially like detective, mother, business woman, fitness and even quirky roles. I am into an alternative lifestyle and write about health. I have literally reversed my arthritis because of changing my diet and lifestyle. If you have a great suggestion for a story/photos for any of the above, feel free to contact me. Check out my photos on DianaDeRosa.com. At the moment I am looking for a new door to walk through. So, if you have something that fits my skills let me know.
