ABOUT
Hello! My name is Ariel; I firmly believe that embracing all of the puzzle pieces that make us who we are—our passions, our heritage, our beliefs, all the ways we identify—is how we make magic happen.
It has taken me a couple of decades to fully embrace who I am—a Blasian, chronically ill, multi-passionate, Christian, Omni woman— largely because of society’s expectations and the duality of parts of my identity. However, welcoming this tension has made my life, art, and relationships SO much more enriching.
With the myriad of experiences and knowledge I’ve gained, I am determined to show the world through example and encouragement that it IS possible (and even better!) to be more than one thing. I believe that embracing every part of who we are not only leads to a more fulfilling life, but an increase in empathetic connection to others around us.
I am a working on-camera and voice over actor, model, and musician. I have spent thousands of hours caring for patients and conducting neuroscience research. I have worked with brands on business development, social media/community management, and building websites. Also..
- I am a huge introvert and require Ani time (Animals + Anime) to recharge.
- I’m a former two-sport collegiate athlete that now practices karate.
- You are bound to find me at the gluten free bakery in any town I’m visiting.
