Having spent much of her childhood in the Philippines and Singapore, Ariel developed a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and global community. Before joining Antonini & Cohen, Ariel served on the board of directors of a local refugee resettlement nonprofit, where she helped develop digital operations systems, supported compliance and policy initiatives, and worked directly with newly arrived families to ease their transition to life in the United States.

Ariel brings a multidisciplinary background in research, legal support, and creative production. She received both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Anthropology from Georgia State University here in Atlanta. Ariel is excited to support the immigrant community while championing the values of diversity and inclusion in American society at Antonini and Cohen.
