Amanda Mia Troche Rivera is a Business Administration student at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez, currently studying Human Resources while exploring different areas of business and management. She’s interested in entrepreneurship and hopes to build a career that combines her interests with the skills she’s developing throughout college. As she navigates university life, she’s learning to embrace new experiences, meet different people, and figure out what she wants her future to look like along the way.
Outside of school, Amanda has been dancing since she was five years old. She is a ballet and jazz dancer with Ballet Teatro Musical de Cabo Rojo and a member of the Centenaria Banda Colegial at UPRM as an Abanderada. Performing has always been an important part of her life, giving her a creative outlet while teaching her discipline, confidence, teamwork, and how to feel comfortable taking up space—even when she’s nervous.
When she’s not studying or rehearsing, Amanda loves fashion, beauty, social media, creative projects, and spending time with her friends and family. She’s naturally curious about the little things that make college life what it is—from friendships and relationships to finding your place, making memories, and trying to balance everything at once. Through Her Campus, she hopes to share her perspective as a Puerto Rican college student and create a space where other girls can find something relatable, whether it’s advice, inspiration, or simply a reminder that they’re not the only ones figuring it all out.
