About

Adrianna Maldonado was born in Northern California on May 6th, 2003, making her twenty-one years old today. She was raised in a small town located in the northern Bay Area known as Fairfield, CA. She moved around frequently within Fairfield until she was twelve years old when her parents decided to settle down in Suisun Valley to be closer to Napa, CA for her mom's work. Adrianna is the older sibling to her younger brother Ayden Maldonado. Adrianna’s childhood was primarily consumed by travel softball. From the age of three, she was put into her local Bobby Sox league and later joined her travel ball team, Solano Galaxy, at the age of ten on their 16 and under division team. Her dream was to play for a D1 college as a pitcher. However, as Adrianna was about to enter high school she randomly decided to try out for the cheerleading team, with no prior experience, and somehow made it. She then went on to cheer for all four years of high school, while also playing high school softball, and even became captain two out of those four years on both teams. Getting involved in this new organization, inspired Adrianna to get involved in other areas of high school as well. She joined many clubs and creative classes such as Journalism, where she was their sports division media editor, Photography, Leadership, the Feminist Club, and even became president of her own club known as Commitments to Community. Her club focused on giving back to less fortunate groups throughout Solano County and would also educate their members on how those deeds positively impacted the community, with statistical breakdowns. As Adrianna explored these different arenas, softball began to take up less of her focus and she no longer had the desire to play in college, and wanted her college experience to be focused on her future career and other ways she could get involved on campus.

At eighteen years old, Adrianna moved from Northern California to Southern California to attend California State University, Fullerton. She first entered as a business

major but later switched to communications. During her freshman year, she joined the Alpha Chi Omega sorority and took up a few leadership roles within the organization such as Vice President of Recruitment Information, Bid Day Chair, Song Chair, and a Social Media Assistant. Her passion for singing, songwriting, and producing music also led her to join the Music Industry Club as well. During her junior year of college, Adrianna began to face some unknown health challenges, which she later found to be stage two Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She was then forced to move back to Northern California, during the spring semester, to receive chemotherapy treatment. She received news in May of 2024 that she had beat her cancer and would be able to finish chemotherapy the following month. Adrianna was determined to stay on track for graduation and took four summer classes to catch up. She is expected to graduate from California State University, Fullerton in the Spring of May 2025. Her hopes after college are to possibly go into event planning for movie premieres and television screenings, or something within the music industry, or fashion industry as well. Her love for music festivals has only grown since her time in college and exploring that arena would be very interesting to her.
