Currently a first-year student at the UW–Madison School of Veterinary Medicine, Maria Rivera recently graduated with a major in Animal & Veterinary Biosciences and was also a Mercile J. Lee Scholar. Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, Rivera also has strong ties to Madison, where their grandparents and 21 cousins are based.

As an undergraduate student, Rivera was an active campus community member, serving as the president of the poultry club, collaborating with the Animal Science Advisor to create the new Animal and Veterinary Biosciences major, and participating in intramural soccer and volleyball.

Outside of Academic pursuits, Rivera enjoys spending time with family, supporting the Packers and Badger basketball, attending Badger football games, playing board games, and biking the lake loop in Madison.

Rivera is enthusiastic about continuing their journey at UW–Madison and working with DDEEA students to foster a love of math.
