Ariatna has a Bachelor of Science in Brain and Cognitive Sciences (Course 9) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a law degree from Boston University School of Law.

Born into an entrepreneurial family, Ariatna is inspired by the enterprising work of the many immigrants that have shaped this country.

Her desire to work on meaningful issues on a larger scale brought her to the nonprofit sector and to Orlando Center for Justice.
