Adriana Harlan, a rising national college star, shared many interesting facts about herself while discussing her professional path and her experience as a teacher during a recent interview with ESPN. The former contestant on “The Apprentice” and “Dancing With The Stars,” has had quite an impressive resume for a woman of her age. Getting a Master’s degree in education is extremely important, noted Adriana Harlan, as that is paramount to complement that which is already a reality, such as experience. In fact, she stressed the importance of being able to “really get to know students personally and understand what they are interested in” in her role as an Education Specialist with the Department of Education.
Despite her professional path and her many years of experience, Harlan remained true to her childhood passion of kite flying and chocolate making. She relates the story of how her love affair with kite flying started while growing up in segregated Alabama during the mid-seventies. As she got older, she fell in love with the sport and pursued a career as a paralegal in New York City. However, she quickly discovered the stress associated with a job at a giant firm was too much for her, despite her promising career. After a short stint in the business, she decided to pursue her passion for kite flying in an attempt to break free from the day-to-day grind. While doing this, she met her now husband, Rocky Harlan, and the two quickly began a romantic relationship that spanned more than 35 years!
Adriana Harlan is not solely focused on her academic career or her healthy lifestyle, however. She credits yoga and mindfulness practices, as well as her diet plan and regular exercise, as contributing to her long term success.
