Diana Lasseter Drake is a writer and editor who launched her career as a New Jersey business journalist nearly 35 years ago, rising to managing editor of NJBIZ, the state's only weekly business pub founded by Time magazine's George M. Taber. Her love of business writing led her to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where she has worked since 2009. She is the managing editor of the Wharton Global Youth Program, introducing high school students worldwide to business education through articles and a monthly podcast. Diana, an unapologetic bird nerd and nature nut, lives with husband Gary and son Hunter in Pennington, where they enjoy the occasional visit from big sis Julia, who works and plays in Washington, D.C.
