She has created and facilitated trauma-informed training workshops for the foster care community and is dedicated to ongoing healing through education.
Adrienne and her husband, Cliff, have been married since 2007 and have lived in and around the Philadelphia area since they were young. They have a full house of three children, two cats and a dog. Adrienne enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling to new places, and cheering on her favorite Philadelphia sports teams. GO BIRDS.
