Adria Dunn

Founder

Adria L. Dunn is a bridge-builder, storyteller, and changemaker dedicated to fostering peace and cultural diplomacy. Growing up in the Midwest, between Wisconsin and Illinois, she developed a deep appreciation for community and connection. Her path later took her to Asia, where she spent a decade living in Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia, gaining a global perspective that continues to shape her work today. She now resides in St. Augustine, Florida.

With a career foundation in banking and finance, Adria honed her skills in strategy and leadership before shifting her focus to community building during the pandemic. She is passionate about bringing people together across borders and sectors, and she loves creating moments of serendipity, connecting individuals with someone they never imagined meeting.

A writer, singer, and lifelong equestrian, Adria blends creativity with diplomacy, believing that shared experiences and meaningful dialogue can heal divides. Her ultimate dream is bold: to be a catalyst for world peace. As Sophocles wrote, “One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.” Through her work, she strives to create a world where love and understanding guide societies to grow together rather than apart.
