Hi! My name is Maria and I recently graduated Elmhurst College with a degree in K-12 art education and a minor in Spanish!

Right now I have 2 jobs: at a bank on the weekends and as a substitute teacher during the week.

I love animals and have many pets: 4 cats named Atlas, Aurora, Phoenix, and Prada; a guinea pig named Tori, and 4 fish named Aries, Moondust, Frosting, and Athena!

I collect turtle figurines and shot glasses.

Things I love:

cotton candy, ice cream, jewelry, art, interior design, cosmetology, great friends, cats, funny movies, Evanescence, Shakira, concerts, hosting parties, crazy dresses, Big Bang Theory, lauging, How I Met Your Mother, baking, and my amazing fiancee.
