My name is Maria Parker and I am from Dothan, Alabama. I am currently attending Auburn University to major in dietetics. Before attending Auburn University, I went to Wallace Community College in Dothan, Alabama to get my basic studies done. Once I get my degree in dietetics, I plan on transferring to a professional school in hope of becoming a registered dietitian.
