Adrianna, class of 2005, is currently living in Palm Desert, California working as a reporter for NBC News. After graduating from LMU she continued onto grad school at USC and received her Master of Arts in Broadcast Journalism. Six short weeks after graduating she landed her first job as a Video Journalist at the NBC affiliate in Palm Springs, KMIR-TV. Not only does Adrianna report the news, but she also shoots the news, writes and edits the articles and much more. For the past 2 years Adrianna has been enjoying this exciting job; she explains that there is never a dull moment. “My favorite days I get called in early for breaking news, and the rest of the day is non-stop action. Whether on-scene at a fire, bomb threat, or reunion of marines with their service dogs, my days are rarely, if ever, boring.”
Alpha Phi plays a big role in Adrianna’s everyday life. Adrianna developed important skills from her sisters such as learning to stand up for herself and be a strong confident woman all while setting a good example by helping those around her. In Adrianna’s busy life she’s found it inspirational to remember this quote, “We often base perceptions on exceptions and not the rule.” This reminds Adrianna not to fall victim to living a life with the “fear of missing out.” Adrianna also leaves us with this idea: “Don’t compare your life to others, do what you think is right and stand behind your decisions.” At the end of the day, Adrianna has worked hard to achieve success. Whether it be her wise words of wisdom, her down to earth personality or silly character, she is a wonderful example for Alpha Phi’s everywhere.
