Background:
Ariana, like her mentor Maria Taylor, had dreams of getting into journalism after being a student-athlete.
Current Status:
Ariana is a broadcast associate for CBS News.
After tearing my Achilles just two days prior I was now forced to focus on being apart of the sports industry in a way other than being an athlete. I always knew I wanted to be a sports reporter and taking part in the retreat allowed me to rub shoulders with mentors who were willing to help those like me striving to be where they are some day.
