Mariah Richardson joined the CISNT team in 2026 as the AmeriCorps Associate and is excited to be part of a team that makes a difference in the lives of students. She graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with her Bachelor of Social Work and later earned her Master of Social Work. Throughout her journey, she has gained experience as an Academic Ambassador, Graduate Teaching Assistant, Prevention Specialist, Rehabilitation Case Manager, and Residential Teacher. Each of these roles has helped shape her passion for supporting others, building meaningful connections, and helping individuals reach their full potential.

As the AmeriCorps Associate, Mariah supports the AmeriCorps team with developing volunteers with their professional goals. 

Outside of work, Mariah loves getting creative with scrapbooking, roller skating, spending time outdoors camping, and winding down with a good binge-worthy series. She enjoys finding joy in the little things!
