Diana grew up in a modest village in Slovakia with her small family consisting of her mother, father and older brother. In a conversation with SunDiana admitted that even with limited financial means she spent a happy childhood in the Slovak village.
She revealed that they lived paycheck to paycheck and never had many luxuries to enjoy. From the age of 14, Diana worked numerous part-time jobs, including selling ice cream, working in a store, and helping out on local farms. She recalled: “I remember when she was a relatively little girl she was thinking, ‘I love driving.’ My interest in trucks and large vehicles grew from there.”
However, Diana was unable to study much as she became pregnant at the age of 21 and had an adorable son in 2010. After a few difficult years, she moved to the UK in 2014. She separated from her husband and left her son . in Slovakia.
After a lot of work, Diana got a job at Hoye. “I now spend my working week delivering much-needed fuel across the south east of England. It is a job that I love,” Diana reflected.
