Jane Di Leo

When she is not training for a marathon or watching the Missouri Tigers (hopefully) win in football, you’ll find Jane Di Leo at her desk with her nose in the dictionary. Jane hails from Nordeast Minneapolis, where she grew up pounding balls on the Windom Park tennis courts. After attending the University of Missouri School of Journalism, where she received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in magazine journalism, Jane moved to New York to intern for Women’s Health magazine. Craving a little sense of normalcy, she moved back to the land of 10,000 lakes to work for Mpls.St.Paul Magazine. Today, Jane not only focuses on the daily aspects of mspmag.com, she also helps create health content and coverage for the site.
