Maria Barrios
Augusta Pines Golf Club
Hometown: Tomball, Texas
Most outstanding thing that has happened to you: Getting to dance and represent the best team in the NBA, the Houston Rockets.
Biggest celebrities that you’ve met: Usher, Joanna Krupa, Dwight Howard and my favorite, Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon.
Place you want to visit: It’s a strong tie between Istanbul and Ibiza.
Favorite music: Old school R&B soul music. You can’t go wrong with The Temptations, Al Green and Otis Redding.
Turn-ons: Great teeth, intelligence, wit and a job.
Turn-offs: Bad teeth, too much self-admiration, and a man who is politically unaware.
Fantasy person to date: Bill Rancic. He’s handsome, a successful investor, politically involved and family-oriented. I might even look past the fact that he’s a Chicago Bulls fan.
The best ways to impress you are: Challenge me and make me laugh. It is rare that I find a man who keeps me on my toes.
Your biggest inspiration: My parents. They are 100 percent self-made, my support team and the reason for all of my triumphs.
Interests: Dance, music, basketball and animals.
The best part about working at Augusta Pines: The members. They create a home and family-like atmosphere.
Worst pick-up line: “On a scale of one to America, how free are you tonight?”
