In her personal life, One of the few things she loves to do outside is travel. She has a lot of family everywhere and tries to go see them as much as she can. Her favorite states to go to are Oregon, Florida, and Oklahoma. The best state she has been to has to be Oregon though. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and is always a state that she recommend to others. She also loves to read on the time that she has available. Her favorite genres are rom-coms and thrillers. When she isn't traveling or reading, she loves to spend time with her friends and workout on her step machine that she has.
Darian is the oldest of three with her sister Devin who also played softball at Texas Wesleyan, graduated in the spring of 2025 and her younger brother Daylon is a freshman at the University of Oklahoma.
