SHE/HER

Youth Club Provider

Ariana was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, to immigrant parents from Mexico, and she is deeply proud of her heritage. She currently works at Discovery Gateway Children's Museum, where she is dedicated to creating meaningful, hands-on experiences for children and families. Additionally, she is excited to keep working with youth at Project Connection, furthering her passion for supporting and mentoring young people.

She is attending Westminster University, pursuing a degree in biology with minors in Spanish and creative writing. When not at school or work, she enjoys road trips, hiking, writing, and spending time with family and friends—especially her mom, who has been a significant influence in her life. At home, she is the proud "parent" of two cats, Lumi and Cece, who bring joy to her everyday life.

Through her work, studies, and personal passions, Ariana is committed to making a difference in her community and fostering connections that enrich the lives of others.
