Robert Rivera is a 22-year-old fifth-year senior. He is from Houston, TX and majoring in public relations at Texas State University.

Rivera was a sushi chef for over a year and said that if he could have any job, he would have one that makes money. He is not a part of any organizations currently, but enjoys drawing with pen or pencil, sleeping and listening to music.
