She is also an alumnus of the University of Texas at San Antonio, where she earned a Master of Science in Applied and Industrial Mathematics, and a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching with concentration in Curriculum and Instruction.

Dr. Rivas enjoys being a faculty mentor and a mathematics educator because serving students is her calling. In her day-to-day work life, she is leading and motivating students who may come from underprivileged circumstances and encourages them so that anyone can rise above and become who they want to be. Her main goal as a college professor is to be a light for all her students, and inspire them to, "...be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded." 2 Chronicles 15:7
