Maria Dobson

Hello! My name is Maria Dobson and I am 23 years young. I am from Dallas, Georgia, and attended North Paulding high school. In high school, I was involved in athletic training, the National honors society, DECA, and basketball. Unfortunately, I had to stop playing basketball because I dislocated my knee cap. That is actually the reason I became an athletic trainer I also had two jobs during high school as a babysitter and a manager at an indoor play place for kids. After graduating high school I decided not to go to college, but instead to work a full and part-time job. I worked as a receptionist for an insurance company and as a bartender. I decided being a receptionist was not for me and went to bartending only. I have been bartending for about 4 years now and I absolutely love it. Bartending has definitely opened me up as a person and has made me more outgoing and bubbly. My goal in life is to work with wild animals and bring awareness to ways we can help many of them from going extinct. I am a very loving, down-to-earth person, who wants to make a difference.
