As a little girl, Aeriél was profoundly inspired by her Nana who introduced cinematic classics such as “The Sound of Music”, “West Side Story”, “Oliver Twist”, “E.T” and tons of Disney animated films to her at an impressionably sweet age. Thus, her interest in the performing arts was born. She studied ballet at Etgen-Atkinson Ballet School and began her theatrical journey by joining and performing in plays for the Dallas Children’s Theater. At an early age, she also adopted an affinity for music, learning to play the piano and violin. As a teen, Miranda competed in the fifth season of the Discovery Kid’s Channel reality competition series Endurance (TV Series), followed by competing in a family edition of Fear Factor.
