Originally intending to pursue medicine, Ariana discovered in college that her strengths lay not in science and math, but in reading, writing, critical thinking, and argument. That realization led her to explore law, where she developed a strong interest in legal history, constitutional boundaries, and understanding what law enforcement can and cannot do.

Ariana primarily practices criminal defense and is known for her empathy, approachability, and strong courtroom presence. Her background in psychology helps her connect with clients on a human level, especially during moments of stress, fear, and uncertainty. She believes empathy is one of the most important tools an attorney can bring to the table and that clients deserve to feel heard, respected, and understood.

Though early in her career, Ariana has already built a reputation for securing favorable outcomes, including dismissals and strong plea agreements. She understands the value of professionalism and credibility in court and uses both to advocate effectively for her clients. Her goal is to continue growing as an attorney while providing compassionate representation to those facing criminal charges.

Outside of her practice, Ariana enjoys video games, creative hobbies, and spending time with her cats and friends. These interests reflect her belief in balance, self-awareness, and staying grounded, qualities that inform her approach to advocacy and her commitment to doing work that makes a real difference in people’s lives.
