Emily Rivera

First-Year Representative

My name is Emily Rivera.  I am a first-year in the School Psychology program with the LPCC emphasis. In addition to studying and striving to stay afloat, I am currently working as an ABA interventionist.  While attending BYU-Idaho for my undergraduate degree, I developed a strong interest and passion for students who are exposed to the juvenile system because of exclusionary discipline, and the cause-and-effect that impacts their school development.  I learned how to create “magic” while working with the Disney company for 4 years.  I hope to continue and spread this magic while representing the first-year students.
