Marketing
Perfecting simple recipes like banana bread or chocolate chip cookies makes me feel peaceful and warm inside. This semester, I hope to bring on guest speakers who can share insights on their careers and journeys with a personal touch. I want people to not only find a career path they align with but also place great value on how a company treats their employee!

Maria Rivera

Hi everyone my name is Maria Rivera, serving as AMA's Social Media Coordinator for the 2020/2021 academic year. I am a fourth-year business student with an emphasis in Marketing. After graduation, I aspire to be a Digital Strategist within the beauty/fashion and lifestyle industry. As I approach my last few months at California State University, Long Beach my goal is to make every moment count and make the best of my remaining year as an undergrad -- which before AMA I felt like I was not doing. I am thrilled to be given this opportunity to serve on AMA's Executive Board to continue to grow professionally while also facilitating the professional growth of our members. I am looking forward to working with the team and showing what our AMA chapter has to offer!

I am a 3rd year Marketing Major here at Cal State Long Beach! I’m originally from Northern California, but I moved to Long Beach for school and it was the best decision ever. I love exploring new places, trying new things and especially meeting new people! I also enjoy all things Marketing.
