Adria is an audience editor, currently focusing on growing our social video program across platforms like TikTok and Instagram to help reach younger, more diverse audiences. She is creating informative, first-person stories about their communities, so that everyone can see themselves in the off-platform work of the Globe. She also works across the audience team to help support our community and newsletter initiatives.

Adria started at the Globe as the digital producer and reporter with the Great Divide team in April 2022, where she covered breaking news and curated the team’s weekly newsletter. Prior to joining the Globe, she worked at the Connecticut Mirror as an education reporter, covering K-12 and higher ed. Before that, she was an intern at The Marshall Project and CalMatters.
