In her free time, Adrielle enjoys hiking and spelunking in the Ozark Mountains, gardening, and playing with her cat Teddy. She is a self-proclaimed “foodie,” and not only cooks Cajun family recipes, but also loves to create recipes of her own, as well as host hors d’ouvres parties for her friends. Adrielle loves to travel, as she has backpacked Southern Europe, toured 15 cities in Australia and New Zealand, and spent many summers in Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

Adrielle plans to use the title of Miss Arkansas USA 2010 to promote the causes closest to her heart, specifically Child Injury Awareness and Veteran’s Affairs. Due to her own injury as a teenager, Adrielle had to undergo complete spinal reconstructive surgery, and wants to stress to children and teenagers alike the importance of listening to their bodies and recognizing the signs of serious sport and recreational injuries. She looks forward to continuing to work with Arkansas Children’s Hospital on this initiative. Also, as a Congressional Intern in Veteran’s Affairs, Adrielle learned just how much our Veterans have done for our country, and how much of a debt of gratitude we owe them. She looks forward to speaking at area schools, as well as visiting local Veteran’s Hospitals and promoting Veteran Appreciation.
