Mrs. Adriana brings 20 years of Early Childhood Education experience to The Pillars Boerne Stage Rd in San Antonio, Texas. She began working in the field in 2006 and holds her State Director’s Credential/License and CPR/First Aid certification. Her leadership is shaped by extensive experience implementing Learning Beyond Paper and Frog Street, integrating faith-based curriculum, and supporting teachers in alignment with Texas Rising Star standards and Texas Minimum Standards. 

Since joining the organization in November 2023, Mrs. Adriana has supported children across infant, toddler, preschool, Pre-K, before and after school, and summer/holiday programs. She is passionate about coaching teachers, supporting curriculum implementation, and creating engaging learning environments that promote both academic and social-emotional development. Her mission is to build a Christ-centered community where children, families, and teachers feel loved, supported, encouraged, and confident that they belong. 

Mrs. Adriana lives in New Braunfels, Texas, with her husband, and their two daughters, who both attend The Pillars. Originally from Portland, Texas, she considers herself a beach girl at heart and enjoys being outdoors near the water, especially by the river or pool with her family. She also enjoys serving at church, Bible study, worship, iced coffee, decorating and organizing spaces, and finding creative ways to make everyday moments special for her family and the children at school.
