My name is Ariel. I am originally from Cincinnati, Ohio but attended Queen's University (2020-24) where I got my Bachelor's in Honours Health Sciences. I currently attend Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine and will start my 2nd year in the fall! In my free time I enjoy spending time outside, physical activity, reading, and any sort of crafting from embroidery to scrapbooking. I grew up a competitive and varsity swimmer and spent 4 years as a lifeguard, and eventually as a head guard, swim coach, and swim lessons instructor. It was during this time that I gained the majority of my experience working with kids, both in the pool environment as well as babysitting. Our pool hosted a summer camp that as a lifeguard, I was heavily involved in helping to manage. I am a perfectionist and hardworking person who puts 110% into all of my tasks. Once I have finished dental school, I hope to either work as a family dentist or specialize in pediatrics!

I worked as a babysitter regularly throughout high school for a family of three (kids 2, 4, and 7) as well as working as their swim lesson instructor. During this time I was also a swim coach and swim instructor for the 8 and under age group so have spend considerable time working with kids!

I am currently in dental school and just finished my first of four years! I was also a lifeguard for 4 years and have kept up with my CPR and First Aid certifications for school.
