Adriana enjoys reading and listening to live music. She loves to celebrate big and small leaps the children make. Whether it is something they have never eaten before, a sound they have never said before, or the ability to communicate something for the first time - seeing them have that "ah-ha" moment when the light bulb goes off brings her joy.
