Biographie
Adrianna Christine David is an American actor, host, model, and nonprofit co-founder from Rockville, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C., to Christian David, a Lebanese-American, and Roxanne David (Marroquín), who is of Mexican and Basque descent. The oldest of four siblings, she was raised in a service-minded household where performance and purpose were equally encouraged. During childhood, she discovered her passion through choir, musical theatre, and dance, later finding her competitive edge in All Star Cheerleading. A 13-year veteran of the sport, she ended her career on the Maryland Twisters F5, earning gold and silver medals at The Cheerleading Worlds and being named American Cheerleader Magazine's Cheerleader of the Year. That visibility led to early work as a model in athletic print and brand campaigns, evolving into a professional fashion career. She is represented by Elite Model Management and has worked with Victoria's Secret, Ulta Beauty, Dunkin', Chevrolet, and appeared in Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, and Glamour. After a Tommy John surgery in college cut short her professional athletic path, David turned fully to acting. She holds two B.A. degrees in Theatre Performance and Communications from the University of Maryland and has trained with Anthony Abeson, Stella Adler Studio, and UCB in New York. Her screen work includes FBI (CBS), Inventing Anna (Netflix), and Veep (HBO) as well as hosting for PBS, Amazon Prime, and several lifestyle networks. She is Co-Founder of Charities Angels, a 501(c)(3) group of women known for their "Party with a Purpose" FUNdraisers. Their annual Juliana's Hope Campaign, honoring her cousin who battled lupus and kidney failure, supports UCSF's The Kidney Project's bio artificial kidney research and earned nationwide recognition from the Maryland Senate, House of Delegates, and Governor's Office. She also serves on the Young Women's Board of the American Heart Association, Greater Washington Region. Adrianna is the only woman to have ever won both Miss Maryland USA and Miss Maryland in back-to-back years-a historic distinction she now pays forward through ACDcoaching, where she helps talent break into entertainment, develop their personal brands, and master the art of public speaking.
