Riley is from Ventura, California. She graduated from California State University Monterey Bay in 2013 with a degree in Kinesiology focusing on Wellness. After college, she needed a change of scenery and moved to Colorado. After shadowing at Craig Hospital in Denver, a rehabilitation hospital, she was hooked. She went to Arapahoe Community College in Littleton where she obtained her Associate’s of Allied Science degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant.

She moved back to California in 2020 to be closer to her family. When she’s not working she likes to play with her dogs (1 bassett hound and 1 beagle), go to the beach, work out, bake, and watch a lot of Netflix movies.
