Written by Paul Soucek | Dec 22, 2025 5:15:00 PM

Hello! My name is Adia, and I’m based in Kansas, where I live with my amazing son.

About My Role

As you may have seen on the COCRS LinkedIn page, I’ve been with COCRS since 2022—a role I’m proud of. But I also believe it’s important to share a little about the person behind the title.

A Proud Nerd at Heart

Outside of work, anyone who knows me knows that I’m proudly and completely a nerd at heart.
Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings have always held a special place in my life.
My favorite hobbit will always be Farmer Tom.

Stories filled with magic, courage, and adventure inspire me and shape the way I see the world.

My Love for Travel

My sense of adventure doesn’t stop with storytelling. Traveling is my favorite hobby, and I’ve been fortunate enough to explore an incredible list of places:

  • Japan
  • Guam
  • England
  • Scotland
  • Ireland
  • Oranjestad
  • Cartagena
  • Ocho Rios
  • George Town
  • And of course, many parts of the United States

Each destination has taught me something new about the world and about myself. I’m already planning even more travels because I can’t wait to keep discovering new cultures, new foods, and new experiences.

My Ohana

Please enjoy these photos of me in different parts of the world along with a picture of my ohana.
My ohana may be small and imperfect, but it is still good. Every memory captured reminds me of how far I’ve come and how much more I look forward to seeing.

Looking Ahead

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. Here’s to more growth, more discovery, and many more adventures ahead.
