It started with a local crown and a big dream, and led to a lifelong career.
In this episode of Here She Is, we talk with Dianah Gibson, Miss Washington County 1988, whose pageant journey became the unexpected launchpad for a decades‑long career in broadcast journalism. What started as a way to earn scholarship money turned into her first radio job and eventually into becoming a trusted voice on WFRE and WFMD in Maryland.
Dianah shares how early setbacks led to the title she was truly meant to win, why community involvement mattered more to her than appearances, and how faith and persistence shaped both her career and her life as a mom, wife, and media professional.
From pageant stage to morning show mic, her story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the path that doesn’t go as planned is the one that leads exactly where you’re meant to be.
You can listen to Dianah on WFRE and WFMD in Frederick, Maryland.
