Arielle Phillips

Arielle Kristine (Gooden) Phillips was born in Austin, TX to Kevan and Wanda Gooden. As a child, it was apparent that she was gifted as she sat on the lap of an opera singer and mimicked her every sound on pitch. Over the years, she developed a love for music, among other things. A 2005 graduate of Oral Roberts University (Tulsa, OK) and a 2010 graduate of Texas A&M University (Texarkana, TX), Arielle holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a minor in Non-Profit Business, and a Master of Science in Education. In addition to that, she holds a certification in esthetics (skin care and makeup) and is a licensed elementary educator.
