Ariel brings a deep passion for child welfare to her role as a Case Manager at Child Advocates of Placer County. Her journey began with a successful career in the private sector before she discovered her calling as a CASA Volunteer. During her first case, Ariel realized she wanted to dedicate her life to supporting the most vulnerable children in the community. The fulfillment she found in advocating for children led her to serve as the Recruiter, Trainer, and Marketing Specialist for CASA of San Joaquin County, where she focused on promoting and educating others about the vital work of CASA Volunteers and their impact on the community’s youth.

Since 2021, Ariel has been a dedicated CASA volunteer and has a longstanding background in childcare. With firsthand experience interacting with the child welfare system, she understands the challenges children face and the profound impact that just one caring, safe adult can have during their toughest times. Ariel is deeply committed to making a positive difference in the lives of youth in her community. In her free time, she enjoys cooking, reading, traveling, and sailing.
