Before Maribelle came to Richmond in 2019, she lived in Arkansas, the Natural State, where she enjoyed hiking and spending time on her hometown’s many lakes. She graduated from John Brown University with a BA in English and History and later earned a Master of Teaching from VCU through Richmond’s Teacher Residency Program. Prior to joining Fit4Kids, she was a middle school English teacher at Dogwood (formerly Binford) Middle School located in the Fan District. She is driven to empower learners of all ages to pursue health and wellness in their bodies, their relationships, and their minds! Maribelle stays active with her husband, Chipper, by climbing and playing disc golf, and she likes to undertake natural restoration projects in her backyard.
