Teacher Spotlight - Mauri Arnold
Teacher Spotlight - Mauri Arnold

We are pleased to kick off the new year by highlighting Mauri Arnold, one of our very favorite instructors. Mauri joined MORE HEALTH in 2013 after being a stay-at-home mother for sixteen years. While volunteering at Wilson Middle School, she met a MORE HEALTH instructor who shared our mission and encouraged her to submit a resume. MORE HEALTH sounded like a perfect fit given Mauri's background in elementary education and passion for children and healthy living. For Mauri, it was a dream job come true!
