Women in STEM is empowering because I get to learn from older students who inspire me to explore new ideas and challenge myself. Being part of a community of girls who share my interests makes me feel welcomed, supported, and confident in what I can accomplish.

Being a student-athlete at Riviera has taught me how to lead, mentor younger students, and set an example for others.

I chose Riviera because the school genuinely cares about its students and makes a conscious effort to help us grow into well-rounded individuals. Being a student-athlete requires sacrifice and dedication, but it has taught me how to manage it all, stay disciplined, and continue growing both on and off the court.
