She is a Middlebury College graduate, and earned her Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH) from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
In making the announcement, Graduate School Associate Dean Sean Conley, noted: “What Ariane brings to our graduate program in health care administration is a breadth of working knowledge of strategic planning, project management, hospital, health center, and managed care administration and operations, quality improvement, contracting, and grant writing.”
In the 1980s, Ariane directed a federally funded rural Massachusetts community health center, and later worked in planning and contracting for the Baystate Health System, one of the top 100 teaching hospital systems in the US. She has also worked as a senior consultant on state and national behavioral health projects with Abt Associates, an international Cambridge-based consulting company.

"It occurred to me that I've grown up with Marlboro. As a young flute and piano student, my first encounters with the Marlboro campus were through the magic of the summer music festivals, and later through the eyes of fellow college students who attended the college," says Krumholz. "Little did I know I would be fortunate enough to work with the fine faculty of the Health Care Administration program of its Graduate School. With Marlboro's cutting edge in educational technology and well-grounded practical courses, I welcome the opportunity to be part of growing a dynamic graduate program."
