Select Testimonials

Hello Shayla, I just wanted to thank you for presenting here at Freddie Mac and at the Women of ALPFA! And thank you for being so flexible. You were awesome! I have received a lot of positive feedback from both events! I am already thinking about the Women of ALPFA for next year! I have a lot of things in mind, one of them being what you mentioned about the Women of comedy. I love it! I will be in touch to start planning that! Abrazos, Marie J. Ruiz, CPA, MBA

It was my absolute pleasure to have worked with Shayla Rivera at HISPA’s annual youth conference in San Antonio, Texas. Shayla shared her incredible personal stories of success, failure, hard work, and the events that changed her life with a sense of humor that engaged students, staff and special guests. In addition, motivating a group of over 200 students from at-risk neighborhoods is quite a challenge. However, from feedback received, she was rated the most interesting/favorite speaker of the day. HISPA fully supports Shayla Rivera. We are looking forward to having her join us at our annual kick-offs and youth conferences. Aixa Acevedo Program Director

HISPA- Hispanics Inspiring Students' Performance and Achievement

On Behalf of the Mt. San Jacinto College STEM program, we would like to thank you for your outstanding Keynote Address to our STEM students, faculty and community members. You were everything that we hoped for in a keynote speaker. Your energy, motivation, past experiences and humor were overall amazing and beneficial for our students. I think you were able to capture the essence of what it takes to be a STEM student: hard work, dedication, motivation and a little bit of fun. We were also honored that you took the time to return and present a hands-on workshop on Stress Management. The feedback that we received on your presentation was phenomenal. We hope to have you back in the future. Thanks for making our Summer Institute a Success! Sincerely, Mt. San Jacinto College STEM Program

My name is Megan Tull, I’m the Program Director for Texas Women in Business. We had Shayla Rivera as one of our Keynote Speakers at our Beyond 50 Event this past May, where we had more than 300 professional women in attendance. I highly recommend Shayla. She brought the house down with her incredible presentation. She had everyone laughing, crying and thoroughly entertained! One of Shayla’s greatest qualities is that she has a strong charisma and connection with her audience. We received amazing feedback from our attendees regarding Shayla’s presentation.
