She started recreational cross-country and alpine skiing with her family when she was a toddler, but did not Nordic ski race until she was 13 years old. As a young child her favourite part of alpine skiing was the hot chocolate at the top of the mountain. Cross-country was not a favourite pastime either. Before she began racing her family would coax her along the cross-country ski trails with bribes, such as M&Ms and hard candy. That all changed in 7th grade when the Merriconeag Waldorf School she attended through 8th grade started a Nordic ski club. Before her first race she did not think of herself as having a competitive nature, nevertheless, her teammates convinced her to ski the first race and that opened up a whole new world to her.

Adele raced for her middle school, her high school, Waynflete School in Portland, and for her club, Maine Coast Nordic (MCN), coached by Morgan. From 2007 to 2009 she was also coached independently by Dick Taylor and Marty Hall. She worked with eleven different coaches over the six-year period, including two cross-country running coaches. Adele ran cross-country through high school and was a two-time state champion. She qualified for the New England Championships three times and ran her fastest 5km cross-country time in 19:00.

In 2009 Adele raced at US Nationals for the first time and qualified for the Junior World Championships in Praz de Lys, France, where she placed 30th in her first international race, a 10km Pursuit. She placed 2nd at the 2009 Junior Olympics in Truckee, California in a 5km Classical race and helped her relay team win the Older Junior 3×5km Classical race. The Sun Valley Olympic Development Team took her under their wing at the 2009 Distance National in Fairbanks, Alaska, where she raced her best result so far, 3rd in the 5km Classical race.

Adele thrives on racing and loves to push through intense pain! She hopes to bring her ski racing to the highest level of competition in years to come.
