Ariel is a Jewish mom, educator, and community builder who recently moved to Chicago with her husband and baby from New Orleans, LA and before that, Massachusetts. With over a decade of experience in education and nonprofit leadership, she’s passionate about creating welcoming, joyful spaces for young families. Ariel loves lakeside walks with her two dogs, long candle-lit Shabbat dinners, and helping families connect. When not chatting with anyone who will engage about the new and surprising world of parenting she can be found crafting, trying a new workout class, or eating her way across Chicago one “little treat” at a time.
