Ariel White is a Marketing and Communications expert, and Sr. Account Manager at a creative agency. She also serves as a strategic advisor for a global eCommerce retailer, a Community Manager for Toast, a talent partner that helps connect women to tech roles, and is the Founding City Director for the Victoria chapter of WNORTH, an organization dedicated to empowering women to advance into senior leadership positions.  

A storyteller by nature, Ariel’s passion for writing led her to start a daily blogging practice in 2017. What began as a fun way to share recipes and outdoor adventures soon became an outlet for her to initiate and engage in deeper conversations around mental health, recovery from food and substance-use disorders, and finally disclose the secret of her childhood sexual trauma. Ariel currently works to amplify the voices of those fighting silent battles through advocacy and education, and leads conversations about trauma-informed practice and how it shows up in our leadership. Today, I have the pleasure of hearing her journey.
