Valeria Rivera

BU '26

Hi there! My name is Valeria Rivera and I am a third-year journalism and public relations major at Boston University, as well as a contributing writer and part of our editing team here at the BU chapter of Her Campus.

I’m also part of the Daily Free Press, a student-run newspaper on campus, and on the marketing board for BU's International Affairs Association!

I'm originally from Costa Rica and my family is from Honduras, but I grew up all around and lived in lots of other places like the Philippines, Hong Kong, and now Boston. I love traveling and visiting new places and I find that my experiences abroad have really influenced and inspired my writing both personally and in my journalistic pursuits.

Most of all, I hope to always be able to use what I’ve learned to amplify the stories and voices of those around me.
