In 2008 she earned her Master of Arts (Honors), Degree First Class from the School of English at the university. In addition to winning two other academic prizes, her master's dissertation in creative writing received the Catherine Wyatt-Fenty Memorial Prize for the best dissertation in the department. She currently resides in the greater Nashville, TN area where her wool sweaters, intended for the winters of Scotland, are rendered useless.
Ariel is the author of three award-winning short stories: "My Cousin Nurse Mindy Who Saw the Feet of Elvis One Day" (2007), "Shutter" (2008), and "Whites-Only Grocery" (2009). While she does not define herself as a poet, she has been known to experiment with verse when her ideas demand a more concentrated medium. Her work as an actress, director, and choreographer has also received attention and praise over the past few years.
