Adina Burke
Overview
Adina is an individual who doesn't like talking about herself very much and instead insists on writing about herself. Born in 1990 with a sweet taste in her mouth for cynical and dry wit, such characteristics can be found in her work and overall demeanor. Much to her credit, she has found a way to make this seem incredibly endearing.
Adina is now offering accessibility consultations focusing on those with limited mobility and/or assistive devices. If you wish to make your small event or gathering more accessible to individuals with these concerns, please PM Adina directly with "Consult" in your subject line.
