Life & Hobbies

Dr. Riera De Jesus is a proud Puerto Rican with a mixed family. With her father being Venezuelan, and her mother Puerto Rican, she grew up surrounded by strong family values and a large support system. Being a good example for her younger sister has been her overall goal in life. Every year, Dr. Riera goes on a volunteering trip with “Dentistas Misioneros de Puerto Rico” to the Dominican Republic. With a large group of dentists, students, and other volunteers, they treat the community of San Juan De La Maguana for three days. In addition, she gives back to her beloved Puerto Rico whenever it's needed.

In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, going to the beach, cooking, reading, and puzzles.
