Maribel Corona-Villa | Tax Intake Coordinator

Maribel is a Miami native, who grew up in Homestead, Florida. She is a first-generation college graduate. As the oldest daughter in an immigrant household, Maribel witnessed her parents struggle every year to pay expensive tax preparers who would not complete their tax returns correctly. This motivated Maribel to enroll in a tax class at Miami Dade College and begin volunteering for Catalyst Miami in 2018. This is Maribel’s third year volunteering for Catalyst Miami through the VITA Program. She currently serves as the Tax Intake Coordinator, where she wants to ensure that people in underserved communities have access to free tax services.
