Ariel served as the Director of SoGal Sydney from 2017-2019, proudly bringing a powerful, global network of millennial diverse entrepreneurs and investors to Australia.

As a Lead Facilitator of the Sydney School of Protocol Ariel brings to the School her extensive global experience and expertises in health and wellbeing. Along with her entrepreneurial flair, she supports the School’s vision as Australia’s “go to” experts in modern etiquette and international protocol intelligence, and to help Chinese to become more professional, confident and be world ready.
