Ariana Perez was born and raised in Fort Worth, TX. She graduated from Texas A&M University in 2021 with a bachelors of science in public health and a minor in occupational safety. Ariana knew from a young age that she wanted to become a part of something that would help out our communities and she was introduced to Brighter Bites by a friend. As soon as Ariana started to research Brighter Bites she knew she was meant to become a part of it because it was an organization that was there to make an impact in the community, just like she wanted to. In college Ariana would go volunteer in a food bank and with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, which only made her decision to join Brighter Bites easier since they were similar in wanting to make a positive impact in the community. Ever since Ariana joined Brighter Bites, she has felt so much joy in being able to help so many families in the Dallas area. It’s the greatest feeling to be able to give to others and see the relief and joy in their faces. Ariana really hopes to be able to do that for families for as long as she can.

In her free time, Ariana likes to go to car meets, travel, swim, try new places to eat, and hangout with her friends and family.
