And I Take Great Pleasure in Introducing Maria D.

Introducing ME:

Aka: Maria Dawson


I talked a little bit about myself in the test post for our class however in case you did not get a chance to read it I will reiterate the information! For starters, I am originally from a small town in Oklahoma called Perkins (15 miles south of OSU) I usually just say Stillwater so I do not have to go through all the "wheres that" questions. I am currently living in Oklahoma City with my boyfriend and our two dogs in a house we just purchased together with this past September. This was definitely one of the most terrifying things I have ever done! I am a person who LOVES change I want to do different things all the time, however, knowing that we own this house and can change it however I want makes me feel better! 
(Here we are in front of our new home!)

A little bit about my professional life and what I would like to do with it! I am currently a senior and will graduate in May with a BA in Community Health. One day I would love to continue my education and get a Master's degree in epidemiology but for now, I am taking a gap year (or 2 or 3) until I feel ready to get back into gear. If you have any ideas on what I can do with this time or the best place to find a job let me know! I am currently working part-time as a behavioral therapist for kids with Autism at CLASS Norman.

Outside of work and school, I enjoy watching Youtube and Netflix, traveling, hiking, and DIYing or upcycling. Please leave me some new Netflix recommendations what I watch the most are true crime and comedy shows! I have two doggies Cooper who is a Siberian Husky and just turned two and Gunner who is a German Shepherd and just turned one. I am excited to read everyone's posts and please tell me someone got the reference in my title!
