Diane Ursu joined Suite101 as a contributing writer in August 2009 and became a Feature Writer in January 2010. She is a freelance writer and an outdoor enthusiast.

She worked as a sonographer for five years with a specialization in obstetric and gynecological ultrasound for one year. She has experience with general ultrasound and related surgical procedures. She has always been fascinated by the human body and how it works.

Diane began mountain biking in 2006 and began volunteering as a trail worker in 2007. She furthered her mountain biking advocacy efforts by becoming a State Board Member At-Large for the Michigan Mountain Biking Association in February 2009.
