After graduating, she continued her education at Illinois and graduated in 2021 with her Master of Science in Health Administration. 

During her time as a graduate student, she was a teaching assistant for many undergraduate Community Health courses. Throughout her years at Illinois, Ariel has held various jobs and internships in the healthcare administration field and was selected to be an intern with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for the summer of 2020 but was unable to go due to the pandemic.
