Viviene has amassed several degrees over the years, all of which she has received with honors. Most recently, she graduatedwith a degree in Curriculum Instruction from one of Florida's best universities .

However, as she continues to grow, her goal is to do the best she can to help the people she comes in contact with to feel belonged and respected. Viviene would like to thank her Vintex crew, her family, friends, her professors (Dr. Foerch and others) for instilling in her that the ultimate goal is to let her students live, survive, and learn about the world around them, by using their experiences, survival skills, and learning about coping and respect for each other in their lives, as they transcend through their academic experiences and into the world.
