Fundraiser/Event Director

Nicole Marshall, born October 5, 1984 in Newport News, Virginia, was raised by her mother, Vanessa Black in Hampton, Virginia. She attended Hampton High School in Hampton, Virginia where she participated in a variety of activities. The highlights of her high school years included Air Force ROTC in which she participated for 3 years and the Crabber Marching Band. She participated in the band for 2 years as a part of the “Essence” Dance Line. With her long-term plans and intentions to go into the Air Force, by the beginning of her senior year, she reconsidered the idea of attending college instead. After researching schools close to home with the best Pre-K through Grade 6 teaching program, she chose Norfolk State University. She would graduate from Hampton High School in 2002 and start the teacher program that fall.
