As a disabled artist, Adri brings a different side and perspective to every room she enters. She is eight years into her theater journey and likes to focus on theater and art that challenges the systems that oppress, connects those who feel separated or othered, and emphasizes a need to do better for the self, and the community around. Outside of theater, she enjoys working with kids, and often works for The Painted Turtle, a non-profit organization for children with disabilities, every summer. She also enjoys hobbies such as painting, music, crafting, crochet, journaling, and more!
