Intro

Hi!

My name is Renata Huggins and I am 26 years old. I was born and raised in Richardson, TX. My first year of college, I went to the University of Washington in Seattle. After that, I moved to the San Fransisco Bay Area and did another two years of college. I met my husband here and after we got married, I started working as a dental assistant. After three years of being an assistant, I decided to go back to school for dental hygiene and moved our family back to Dallas. I graduated from hygiene school in January of this year and am pursuing my B.S. in Dental Hygiene so I can join the U.S. Public Service Commission Corp. We have 2 dogs at home that are our babies and we are currently trying to get pregnant!

My husband and I love to travel when we get a chance. We have all our family in Arizona, California, New Jersey, and Europe - no one here in Texas, yet :) We're working on that. We really miss all the activities that we were able to do when we were in California. We had the beach and mountains on our doorstep and took advantage of them as often as possible. We love hiking and being outdoors, but find it a little more difficult here in Dallas with our extreme weather patterns.

I was actually recommended to take this class by my dental hygiene director but I've always been big on living a healthy, active life style. I'm not sure what to expect from this class but I'm excited to learn. I've always loved school! I was a gymnast for 13 years before some serious back injuries ended my career. I love eating organic meats, lots of fruits and vegetables, and I drink plenty of water. However, desserts are my weakness. Many people don't know that when I had to quit gymnastics, in a matter of 2.5 months I went from 115pounds to 173 pounds! After being at that weight for about a year, I just started eating healthy again, cut back on a lot of desserts, and lost the weight without even working out.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and good luck to everyone!
