About
Adrienne is a retired high school mathematics teacher turned active participant in the skeptic community.
​
Since 2005, she worked with Tourette Canada, followed by The Tourette OCD Alberta Network, as an educational consultant and in-service provider focussing on combatting myths surrounding Tourette Syndrome, OCD, and ADHD while providing strategies for the classroom, workplace, and home.
With her extensive experience and expertise regarding Tourette Syndrome, Hill has been interviewed by Susan Gerbic, Richard Saunders and Kenny Biddle.
Adrienne has given many virtual presentations during the pandemic and would be happy to continue doing so.
She travels extensively (when there isn’t a pandemic on), so would be happy to give an in-person talk or meet at a restaurant, pub, or museum to hang out.
In 2023, Adrienne gave a talk for the Sydney Skeptics, spoke at the Western Canadian Reason Conference in Calgary, Alberta, and presented at the CSICon Sunday Papers in Las Vegas, Nevada.
​
In 2024, to date, Adrienne has given talks at the London Skeptics in the Pub, the Monterey County Skepticamp, the L.A. Skepticamp, the New Mexico Skepticamp, and to the PSYC 441 class at Grant MacEwan University (Edmonton).

Presenting my skeptical journey at my first conference on May 6, 2023, was a fantastic experience. I had the privilege of joining an international group of esteemed speakers, including Aron Ra, Seth Andrews, and my friend from Australia, Richard Saunders.
It was a very busy time for me, as I was also serving as the co-chair of the conference. Fortunately, an outstanding committee worked tirelessly to bring the magic to life. I congratulate them all for making it a fun event.
​
My favourite quote from the weekend is from Kat Mac, who I feel summed up the weekend perfectly: "It was one of the best weekends of my life, just an incredible time...Three years of lockdown made me feel dead inside, but I am among the living again AND I got hugs!"
We learned many valuable lessons, but as Kenny Biddle wisely advises, "Never Stop Learning." This means that the next conference would be even better, and I helped ensure that by being the co-chair of the organizing committee for 2024.
