Pursuer of “beauty in fragile places”

Bronwyn Rivera is a SPACE participant, preceptor, and Signum MA student. Her interests include East Asian cultures and languages, gaming, and fantasy literature.

Bronwyn earned a Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Library Science in 2018. After graduating and spending a few years working in the public library environment, she chose to pursue her passion for literature at the graduate level. Her journey at Signum University began in 2020.

During this time, Bronwyn discovered the healing nature of fairy stories, the joys of Germanic philology, and her love for East Asian languages, cultures, and popular media. Now, she is only one class away from beginning her thesis research. Bronwyn works as a Research and Teaching Assistant. She also serves on Signum’s Digital Media Team, writes articles for the institution’s website, and assists in the Signum Library.

Bronwyn and her husband live in Pennsylvania with their cat Pangur Ban. They currently house-share with their family and a host of livestock in an old farmhouse. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, watching anime and Kdramas, and playing video games. However, if you can’t find her doing any of those things, there’s a chance she’s out there searching for Howl’s moving castle.

This lovely woman of european ancestry wears cat-rimmed glasses and a huge smile. She is engaged in conversation with a rather large indoor fern on the topic of plant representation in anime.
