Born in Manila, Philippines, Dr. Rivera moved to the U.S. in 1981 with her family.
But family ties and the community make Bakersfield feel like home.
Dr. Rivera's father, a physician, influenced her decision to become a dentist.
She noticed that he practiced medicine with tenacity, integrity, and compassion.
She felt that a career in dentistry would also be rewarding as she interacted daily with patients and showed them compassion and care.
And it would be an outlet for her artistic eye.
After earning an undergraduate degree from Loyola Marymount University, Dr. Rivera attended the University of California, San Francisco, and earned her doctor of dental surgery (DDS) degree.
