Ariel grew up in New York City (population: ~8,400,000) and attended Stuyvesant High School on Chambers Street. While she enjoyed the $1 double cheeseburgers at the nearby McDonald’s and the $12 movies in Manhattan, she wanted to see the world outside of the big city. Her solution? She traded in Soho for Main Street and the Empire State Building for Baker Tower and got Dartmouth College.
After graduating from Dartmouth in 2008 with a BA in Psychology and Chinese Language & Literature, she joined the Undergraduate Admissions Office and now calls the lovely town of Hanover, NH (population: ~11,000) “home”. In the Office, Ariel coordinates overnight hosting and helps with the Reception Area Assistant program.
