After helping establish the First-generation Network at Denison University, Ariana realized she enjoyed working with students with a similar background and helping them navigate the college experience. Ariana has always had the interest in giving back to her community so she was excited when she was offered the opportunity to be a Schuler Scholar Coach at Nicholas Senn Highschool, Ariana's alma mater.

In her free time, Ariana enjoys going out to restaurants, coffee shops and spending time with friends and family.
