Originally from Washington DC, I’ve been in Northeast Ohio since 2007.
My earlier years since leaving college I worked as an accounting assistant for a religious-based organization, subsequently becoming Director of Marketing. I then moved to Minnesota and became a Discovery Supervisor for a Major litigation service. My position required me to travel the country supervising document accumulations for class action lawsuits. I was promoted to become the assistant manager of the imaging department of our east coast division.

I eventually moved to Ohio and received a call from a headhunter inquiring about my interest in working in the insurance industry. I had little interest in being in sales but after experiencing a series of illnesses and deaths among my family and friends, I felt that I would be a great spokesperson for informing people of the importance of being prepared for those incidents which we all will go through in life.

I have been in the insurance industry since 2010, and I have found it to be just as important to protect oneself from illnesses as it is to protect one’s legacy. I also believe in income accumulation and retirement preparation; as such I have provided annuities for school teachers and everyone else as well.

Hi, I’m Ariana Sherman — a financial professional and single mom of three who understands firsthand how important it is to create stability and security for your family. My journey into financial planning started with my life and health insurance license, and it grew from a simple desire: to make sure my own kids would always be protected no matter what life brings.

That same mindset drives the work I do today. I know what it’s like to juggle bills, plan for the future, and still want to build something lasting. That’s why I focus on helping families — especially those starting from the ground up — create practical, easy-to-follow plans that protect what they have and help them grow for the future.

With a background in Human Resources and a degree in Financial Planning, I bring both real-life experience and financial insight to every conversation. My mission is simple: to help families feel more confident, prepared, and in control of their financial story — one smart decision at a time.
