Di always wanted to be a teacher, but her career path originally went in a different direction and after school she became a stenographer, and then a nurse. After completing her nursing training in an Australian country hospital, she married and had two children, before creating a number of careers for herself which often included nursing. Di completed the Ba in Adult and Vocational Teaching at Griffith University in Brisbane, majoring in literacy and numeracy. This was followed by employment in a number of training organisations focusing on aged care, literacy and numeracy, hospitality and retail training before studying TESOL which combined her love of the English language and writing, with teaching. Di is a writer of short stories and biographies. She taught English at Yuexiu University of Foreign Languages in Shaoxing, China in 2008 and was awarded the Excellent Foreign Teacher Award. In early 2009 Di worked in South Korea for three months, working with Korean English Teachers.
