Aria Alpert Adjani is a writer and Ovation Award-nominated actress. Before having kids, she worked as an actress for hire on the stage and screen. But motherhood reshaped her path, and it has taken her over a decade to come back to it. Since then, she has discovered where her real creative fulfillment lies: telling specific, meaningful stories. This has led her to writing and producing Jezebel, a one-woman show inspired by the life of jazz singer Anita O'Day, now in development with world-renowned theatre director Travis Preston — marking her long-awaited return to the stage.

Aria is also committed to philanthropy. She serves as Vice President at The Herb Alpert Foundation, and is about to launch an residency for mothers navigating being an artist at the Marble House Project in Dorset, VT.
