Adriana obtained her Bachelors and Masters in Social Work through Michigan State University before moving to Lawrence in 2022. She holds the belief that anyone, no matter who you are, can face hard times or barriers that can feel disheartening or overwhelming. In these times it can be monumental to have someone sharing resources related to your need and offering support. This knowledge and access to resources can be what is needed to overcome obstacles.
She quickly became aware of Family Promise and found the Douglas County community’s connection to the work and mission uplifting. It is wonderful to now get to work alongside a team with a similar desire to support and empower others through difficult circumstances.
Outside of this work Adriana enjoys spending time with family, friends, her dog, and doing community activism work. When there is time to slow down she goes on walks, does arts and crafts (hoarding unused craft items), and backpacks.
