Upon graduating with her executive MBA, Adele dedicated herself to developing The ScholarHouse Foundation, a non-profit organization providing rent-free housing for college students.

Adele was inspired to start Baby Cute LLC in May 2007, upon the arrival of her daughter Maya. Maya was born with a gestational cataract and required medical attention and ongoing care following her birth. Adele spent most of her days attending to Maya, while being reminded each day of how important it was to care for herself and make new mommy friends. She brought the first Stroller Strides class to Long Island in July 2007 and continues to love teaching, providing fun new programs and welcoming new mommies to the group.

Adele also spends her time developing The ScholarHouse Foundation and enjoying one of her hobbies as a licensed real estate agent for Prudential Douglas Elliman. She is honored to be a member of the Lululemon Ambassador family, as well as the Carter's insight panel and Franchise Advisory Committee. It is her passion to help others achieve their goals that drives her to give more and want more for her members. She is inspired each day by her family and those around her who take life in STRIDE!
