My name is Ariana but Ari always finds its way back to me. I’m a classically trained actress with Iranian descent, originally from Los Angeles.

I hold my BFA in Acting from Rutgers University, Mason Gross School of the Arts. I’m also a passionate singer, which is pretty obvious considering how many hours a day I spend humming along to The Sound of Music soundtrack.

I spent a year training at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London, where I performed in Twelfth Night and The Winter’s Tale. Most recently, I played Goli in the 2023 Pulitzer Prize winning play ENGLISH at The Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, and understudied Goli and Elham in ENGLISH at Berkeley Repertory Theatre. 

I strive to create forward moving stories which extend characters into fully fledged, complex beings that inspire thought-provoking conversation. 

I am bicoastal to NYC and LA. I am a member of AEA.
