Ariel Berwald is from St. Louis, Missouri, and is currently a sophomore at Emory University where she is studying nursing. Outside of school, she enjoys spending time outdoors, hiking, running, biking, cooking, and playing with her puppy.

Ariel first started experiencing hip pain while participating in high school cross country and swim. Since then she has had left and right periacetabular osteotomy surgeries.

She is extremely excited to serve as the first Junior Board Member for Miles4Hips and help support other teens/young adults struggling with hip dysplasia.
