#THATARIELVIEW
Hailing from Pittsburgh, PA, Ariel knew at the tender age of 5, her passion was found in acting. Without knowing where to start, she began performing locally on stage, and would continue on that path until college. After graduating from Johnson C. Smith University, in Charlotte, NC, with a bachelors degree in Business Administration; Ariel decided to turn her passion into a career as a professional actress and model in the southeast region. Working a full-time job in Risk Management for a Fortune 500 company, Ariel worked diligently to balance her career in acting/modeling, while still holding a full-time job. During that time she auditioned for and won a scholarship to the New York Film Academy (NYFA) to expand her acting studies in New York City. This was exactly what she needed to take a leap of faith and follow her heart to pursue acting/modeling full-time. After moving to New York, she completed her studies at NYFA, and began booking work as an actress and model. She lived and worked in the city for almost 5 years, but, had her sights set on Los Angeles!
Since moving to LA, Ariel has worked on stage as an improv actor, has ripped several runways for modeling, and has appeared in commercials, films and on TV. She is currently represented commercially by the Daniel Hoff Agency, and CESD Talent for modeling and print.
Ariel had appeared on networks such as BET, NBC, the Onion News Network, Investigation Discovery, TLC and on the Hallmark Channel, and has also studied and performed improv and sketch at The Second City, Upright Citizens Brigade, and several other independent theaters in LA.
Stay tuned because this is only the beginning of #ThatArielView!
