Anneliese Aeria is an actress, model, dancer, musician, artist, entrepreneur, and, most of all, a pet lover which is why at the age of 17 she founded AAPETPEOPLE. Growing up, she was painfully shy, and incredibly unconfident. Anneliese began modeling and acting when she was 12-ish, and working on sets with new, initially intimidating people was a very scary and nerve racking experience for her. She found over time that if she was able to some how slide in the question, “do you have pets?” to those around her, and find some common ground, all of the sudden the ice was broken! This simple question has put her at ease countless times, and made Anneliese realize that the individuals who were initially so intimidating, were just like herself at the end of the day.
She credits her love of animals to her mother who is an entrepreneur of sorts and a veterinarian. With 2 parents working as veterinarians, Anneliese grew up around animals, fostering puppies and kittens with her siblings are some of her fondest memories, and she has always had a deep connection with pet rescue. Now, Anneliese Aeria is a full time model/actress, and has decided to connect her two worlds. AAPETPEOPLE is the uniting of my two worlds, into a brand which is focused not only on the pet, but their owner as well. Seeking to connect people, and pets, in the Fashion and Arts industries, as well as aiding in pet rescue, is the motivation behind the brand, AAPETPEOPLE.
