I grew up in Tarxien and enjoyed many an afternoon in the sea at Delimara. Every Sunday after church, we would visit my grandparents in Valletta. It was at their home in Marsamxett, Valletta that later our children were born. When I was ten, I was sent to boarding school in England and later earned my Bachelor’s in Economics at Exeter University. I went on the take my M. Sc. in Economics at Queen Mary College, London. I returned home to write my doctoral thesis on The Economics of Health and Development in the Maltese Islands.  I published articles on this theme and on industrial relations and later as President of the Association of Women of the Mediterranean region, I published five collected works.

I have taught Economics and English over thirty years at Malta University and Zejtun Junior Lyceum; Athens, Greece; colleges and universities in London, Tennessee, and Texas. I founded two schools: one for travelers in London and one for students at risk of dropping out in rural Texas. Both are free to students and based on respect and trust. As founder and superintendent of the Katherine Anne Porter School at Wimberley, I learnt a great deal about high quality education, finances, and leadership.

As a political activist, I have always been zealous and dedicated to increasing respect and improving opportunities for the disadvantaged. I worked to improve conditions at work in England, for self determination in Ireland, and to give young people a chance to learn and prosper everywhere I went. I have worked for justice, equality, and peace in the Mediterranean, most importantly in the Maltese islands.

Trabbejt f’Hal Tarxien u kwazi kuljum konna nmorru nghumu f’Delimara filwaqt li n-nanniet tieghi kienu joqoghdu l-Belt. Wara, it-tfal taghna twieldu fl-istess dar il-Belt Valletta.

Imbaghad, ghamilt Bacellerat fl-Ekonomija fl-Universitá ta’ Exeter u l-Master of Science fl-Ekonomija f’Queen Mary College, Londra.  Biex nikteb it-tezi ghad-dottorat, gejt lura Malta. It-tema tad-dottorat hija:  Is-Sahha u L-Izvilupp fil-Gzejjer Maltin. Ippublikajt artikli minnha, kif ukoll artikli dwar relazzjonijiet industrijali, u hames kotba dwar il-kundizzjonijiet fil-pajjizi tal-Mediterran.

Ghamilt xi tletin sena nghallem l-Ekonomija jew l-Ingliz f’diversi postijiet: Ateni, Grecja; l-Universitá ta’ Malta u l-Junior Lyceum taz-Zejtun; f’Kulleggi f’Londra; f’Tennessee u f’Texas, filwaqt li hloqt zewg skejjel: wahda ghal vjaggaturi li ma kellhomx skola f’Londra, ohra ghal studenti tar-rhula f’Texas li kienu jfallu fl-iskejjel tal-gvern. Iz-zewg skejjel kienu bla hlas ghall-istudenti u kienu mibnija fuq ir-rispett. Bhala l-fundattrici u s-superintendent ta’ Katherine Anne Porter School f’Wimberley, Texas, tghallimt hafna dwar curriculum, finanzi, u tmexxija tajba.

Bhala attivista politika dejjem kont akkanita biex inkabbar ir-rispett lejn kulhadd u nzid l-opportunatijiet lil batuti. Hdimt mal-moviment tal-haddiema ghal kundizzjonijiet ahjar fl-Ingilterrra, u ghal helsien mill-hakma tal-Gvern Ingliz fl-Irelanda, hdimt hawn Malta ghad-drittijiet indaqs ghal gustizzja, ugwaljanza u paci kemm fil-gzejjer Maltin sew fil-pajjizi kollha tal-Meditterran.

Adrian was born on the first of July 1972, the youngest of five siblings. He was brought up in Cospicua where he resided until three years ago. He currently lives in Tarxien. He attended De La Salle College where he obtained his primary, secondary and post-secondary education. Adrian believes the brothers at the college were very important in determining his education and character formation. Adrian’s parents owned a pharmacy in Cospicua, and this was a determining factor in his choice to study as a pharmacist at the University of Malta, where he graduated in 1996. He worked as a community pharmacist in Vittoriosa for a short time after which he moved to Cospicua, where he works till the present day.

Adrian always showed an interest in local politics, and likes to keep himself adjourned on what goes around in the international scene. He is practically a new face in the Labour Party, and willingly accepted to contest the forthcoming general elections in the party’s name.

Adrian twieled fl-ewwel ta’ Lulju 1972, l-iżgħar fost ħamest’aħwa. Trabba u għex ġewwa Bormla sa tliet snin ilu. Illum Adrian jgħix Ħal-Tarxien. Ħa l-edukazzjoni primarja, sekondarja u post-sekondarja fil-kulleġġ De La Salle, fejn jemmen li l-brothers ta’ dan il-kulleġġ kienu importanti ferm għall-formazzjoni tal-karattru u l-edukazzjoni tiegħu. Il-ġenituri tiegħu kellhom spiżerija ġewwa Bormla stess, u din kienet determinanti biex spiċċa l-Universitá ta’ Malta fejn gradwa bħala spiżjar fis-sena 1996. Hu għamel ftit xhur jaħdem bħala spiżjar il-Birgu u minn 1997 sa llum bħala spiżjar ġewwa Bormla.

Adrian minn dejjem kellu interess fil-politika lokali, u jħobb iżomm ruħu aġġornat fuq ix-xena internazzjonali. Adrian huwa wiċċ relattivament ġdid fil-Partit Laburista, u aċċetta bil-qalb l-istedina biex jikkontesta l-elezzjoni ġeneral f’isem dan il-Partit.
