Adrienne never learned about healthy foods until, at age 10, she became clinically obese. That’s when she made a personal decision to lose weight and learn more about good foods. She worked weekly with a nutritionist, changed her eating habits and lost over 40 pounds. This personal journey dramatically changed her life and drove her toward a health-related career path.

Prior to joining the Foundation, Adrienne worked for a large health education company and handled fundraising and development for a variety of nonprofit organizations, including the American Heart Association and Friends of the Smithsonian.

Adrienne has raised over $14MM through the Foundation’s cause-marketing initiatives. What she loves most about working for the Foundation is developing win-win partnerships with like-minded companies and Whole Foods Market suppliers that are equally invested in our mission. Every partnership can expand our reach and create new opportunities for our local and global communities.

She stays grounded through her yoga practice and is energized by live concerts.
