Is there anything wrong with my sentence?

Soon being a college graduate, I want to further my education by earning my master’s degree elsewhere of Dallas, TX.

Hello, TTU—and welcome to English Forums. The first clause is awkward. I suggest: I will soon receive my BA/BS, and I would like to pursue my master’s degree outside of Dallas, Texas.
