Hi, I'm Moria (pronounced Mo-ri-ah, like Mariah Carey, or like "They Call the Wind Mariah" from Paint Your Wagon Red. Pick your genre.)
This is my Cultural Diversity Blog for my cultural diversity health course at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
A couple of things about me:
I'm Irish. Very Irish. I did Irish dancing for 9 years & my 5-year-old is in her 2nd year of Irish dance. I started dancing again with her this past fall. We'll be walking in Milwaukee's St. Patrick's Day Parade & dancing around Milwaukee for the holiday.
I earned my BA in Dance from UWM in 2010. Types of dance I did- Irish, West African, jazz, ballet, Horton Modern, & Musical Theatre. An injury caused me to stop dancing. Then my husband (married since 07') & I had a child, so I'm just getting back into it. But I still consider myself a dancer. …show more content…
I'm interested in nutrition for athletes (pre-teen & adolescent dancers specifically), nutrition for disease prevention & management in adults, food security & nutrition for Milwaukee community members who live in poverty, ending food desserts, & increasing access to affordable healthy foods for all.
My goal is to become a Registered Dietitian. So I'll spread a year at UW-Green Bay next fall because they have that program. Then I'll have a year of clinical (which only ⅓ of the year is in a hospital setting, the rest is split between a community & research or food service setting). Then I'll continue on for my Master's in Nutrition. I'm hoping UW-Milwaukee could have that program in a couple of years. But we'll see.
I'm a big supporter of public education & higher education. I love Milwaukee & I love UWM.
I think this blog thing will be interesting. You might too. We'll see. Also, brevity isn't my strong suit. I got the "gift of gab" or Blarney. I write the way I think & speak, very casual & with run-on sentences.
That's all I got. Happy Monday
