Born to two military parents, Aeriel grew up moving from base to base before settling in Palm Beach, Florida at age 10. That early exposure to different communities shaped her passion for bringing people together through impactful experiences—whether in events, branding, or civic engagement.
Now based in Atlanta, Aeriel is a seasoned board member and VP of Special Events & Programming for Women in Film & TV Atlanta, where she helps produce major industry events and fundraisers. She spent five years on the Alumni Engagement Team at Emory University, strengthening connections through large-scale events at the Alumni House. Her civic work includes leading voter engagement initiatives with the Urban League of Greater Atlanta and serving as an AmeriCorps VISTA, focusing on policy, social justice, and advocacy.
For the past 12 years, Aeriel has produced major events throughout Atlanta and a host of major cities. She served as the Director of Events and Showroom Experience at PIRCH Atlanta, where she discovered her love for creating immersive experiences and working with chefs to bring culinary storytelling to life. Before this, she worked in catering as an Operations Assistant with Proof of the Pudding, helping execute
large-scale events at venues like World of Coca-Cola and Zoo Atlanta. Seeing the behind-the-scenes teamwork between chefs, servers, and event staff deepened her appreciation for the art of hospitality and seamless execution.
Beyond the world of events and strategy, Aeriel has managed finance and artist relations for SweetWater 420 Fest for six years and hosted Super Bowl experiences across the U.S. She thrives on building seamless systems that make event production, branding, and marketing effortless.
A proud Florida State University alum, Aeriel also practices whole-body awakening meditation. When she’s not producing unforgettable experiences, she enjoys thrifting, cooking Southern dishes, spending time with her family, watching sports, and enjoying nature.
