Adriana has dreamed of helping inform television audiences about current events since she watched the attacks of September 11th from her social studies classroom window at Stuyvesant High School in New York City.

As a Dominican-American, Adriana has always loved learning about different cultures. She speaks French, Spanish, and Chinese. She studied International Relations and Chinese at Princeton University and got Master's degrees from Columbia University and L'Institut D'Études Politiques in Paris, France.

Before coming to Channel One, Adriana worked on Wall Street, was Miss New York USA 2006, lived in France and interned at CNN's Beijing bureau.
