Born and raised in Woodbridge, Ontario, Dina is a self-confessed pop culture junkie. After completing a double major in sociology and mass communications from York University and a degree in broadcast journalism from Humber College, she began her career as Associate Producer for Global Television’s "The Bynon Show.” In 2003, she moved to Toronto 1’s morning program, “ Toronto Today " as Entertainment Reporter and honed her skills as a writer, producer and entertainment anchor. Drawing viewers in with her big smile and charismatic screen presence, she jumped to prime time to help create, write and co-anchor their daily entertainment show, “The A-List.”

When Dina isn't co-hosting "Star! Daily," she can be found cooking, watching reality television or out and about listening to live jazz.
