Meet Mariah

Mariah Bell was born on April 18, 1996 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She is coached by Rafael Arutyunyan and Adam Rippon and trains at Great Park Ice. She resides in Irvine, California.

Mariah started skating at the age of 3. When her family was living in Charleston, South Carolina, her older sister Morgan (who now travels with Disney On Ice) started skating at a rink that opened up close to our home. Her mom thought it was easier to also put Mariah on the ice rather than chase her around the rink during Morgan’s lessons. Her favorite thing about skating is the ability to share what I am so passionate about with others.

When she’s not skating, Mariah enjoys spending time at home with her pet bunnies and dog, Nala. She also enjoys Pilates, hanging out with friends and family and paddleboarding.  Mariah supports the Alzheimer’s Association through their #ENDALZ campaign.
