Gabriela Riveros
Hi! My name is Gabriela Riveros and I am a senior at FIU majoring in PRAAC with a minor in Hospitality.
I take my classes online because I love traveling. In the past 2 years, I have lived on a cruise at sea, Thailand, Hawaii, & Argentina as well as traveling to neighbor countries surrounding those places. Some of my other passions include health, the environment, spirituality, and the arts. I have my own business of reusable customized water bottles in hopes of helping the world become greener one step at a time.

Riley Walman
My name is Riley Walman and I’m an FIU senior majoring in Public Relations, Advertising, & Applied Communications. This fall I’m excited to be attending NCSU for my Masters in Graphic Design! I currently do web administration, SEO, and some marketing for a tutoring company. I also free-lance graphic design and web design, plus I create on the side at rileyvahlman.com.
I used to cosplay heavily and attend over ten conventions a year, but I’ve gone entirely silent on social media for the past year and a half to focus on finishing my degree and finding my career. I still enjoy anime unhealthily, and recently re-watched the original Evangelion series in anticipation of the final…and delayed…Rebuild movie. I’ve also binged a few manga in my time, including following Naruto for almost a decade just because it was my first arguably “real” anime.
