Hello Y'all!  I'm Marisa, I am 20 years old this is my second year at Texas Woman's where I am pursuing a Health Studies (Public Health) major.  I grew up in Farmers Branch which is a suburb of Dallas and then moved to Denton the summer before my first semester in college. I have two English bulldogs which I love to take them on walks. I don't live a very exciting life but I do enjoy getting to spend time with my friends when they're back from college during the break and I very much enjoy getting to watch movies on my days off work.
