She was appointed to criminal task forces including the Domestic Violence Task Force and the Sexual Offender Response Team (S.O.R.T.), emerging as a respected leader in the criminal justice system. 
These roles shaped her deep commitment to justice, safety, and community engagement.

Marivette earned her undergraduate degree in Administration of Justice from Rutgers University in New Jersey, with a certification in Criminology and minors in Sociology and Spanish. She later earned her Juris Doctor from Florida A&M University College of Law, where she was awarded the prestigious Holly Marie Stutz Scholarship for her academic excellence and dedication to public interest law.

A respected voice in the legal community, Marivette has held leadership positions with the Puerto Rican Bar Association of Florida, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Orlando, and the Central Florida Family Law American Inn of Court.
