Who is Ardra?
That would be me
Hello, I'm Ardra. Known to most as David, it is my middle name that brings tremendous family pride. I was named after my great grandfather, Ardra Presley, pictured here with his wife Emma, holding me in his arms. I can still recall playing in his garden of sweet peas as a kid.
Early in life, I was fortunate to discover what brought me joy and purpose - teaching. Although it has taken many shapes and forms, my greatest passion remains helping others grow. It started as a kindergarten teacher, evolved into higher education, and branched into corporate learning and development.
"Ardra" is a Celtic name, but has its origins in Hinduism, representing rebirth and transformation. As I ventured out on my own, it felt only natural to embrace the philosophy from which my name is derived.
Call me David or call me Ardra. Either way, let's connect.
