Originally from Riverside, California, Ariel returns for her second year with the San Diego Charger Girls. Ariel learned early on that in order to know where you’re going in life you must always remember where you came from. She discovered her passion for entertainment at the age of four, when she began dancing and singing to Michael Jackson’s “Free Willy” soundtrack in her living room. Since then, her passion for performing has continued to thrive. Ariel quickly became an accomplished dancer in the dance studios of Riverside, California. Inspired and influenced by an array of genres, Ariel holds a deep respect for hip-hop and jazz. The combination of these influences, and her enthusiasm towards performing, has helped her to become the professional dancer and entertainer she has always dreamed of becoming. Ariel has experienced a plethora of dance opportunities within the NBA, MLS and now the NFL. This season, she looks forward to participating with the Jr. Charger Girls program again as she enjoys helping children develop their skills and confidence. Coming from a family full of strong women, Ariel’s hero is her mother for always supporting her in her dreams and teaching her the value of giving back to others. Never forgetting her roots, Ariel is a motivational speaker to young teens back in her hometown, inspiring them to dream big. A prime example of following her dreams, Ariel recently graduated from California State University, Northridge with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies. She also signed with a prominent talent agency and works in freelance casting for some of America’s favorite reality television shows. Ariel has not only revealed the incredible potential to make her mark in the entertainment world, but serves as a positive inspiration to those who follow.
