Ariella arrived at Willed with extensive experience working in the not for profit sector. After the birth of her eldest child, she was quick to write her Will in order to ensure he would be taken care of if she was suddenly unable to do so. She is continually surprised by how many people don't have a legally valid Will and is passionate about ensuring everyone she knows has their affairs in order.
