About Me
Hi, I'm Riley!
I'm a social content creator currently working in college athletics.​ I first fell into creative work by accident, but stuck around after finding out how much I love it.
I'm an extrovert and I carry that into my work. Busy offices, packed shoots, and group think sessions are where I thrive. I love getting to know people and telling their stories, whether thats through a still image, a goofy social media piece, or a long-form video series. I love vibrant colors and high contrast in my own style, but I'm adaptable to whatever aesthetic a story requires.
​
If there's one thing that I want someone to remember about me, it's that I always put my best foot forward. It can be easy to get caught up in chasing big moments in this industry, but I've found so much joy and learned so much from the experiences that I wasn't actively chasing.
​
In my free time, I like to cook, bake, go on walks, or watch whatever sport is on that season. My favorite color is green, my favorite food is sushi, and my favorite sport is hockey. I've lived in five different states and have had at least nine different animals as pets.
​
About my work experience:
Currently, I work as a Social Content Specialist with LEARFIELD through Red Raider Sports Properties. In this position, I manage and create sponsored video content for Texas Tech Athletics' social channels. In this role, I also assist in the production of multiple long-form video content series with LEARFIELD's Always On program.
During my junior and senior years of college, I worked as a Digital Media Student Assistant for Ohio State Athletics. In this role, I assisted my department in developing digital content and managing social media accounts. I acted as a game-action photographer and videographer on game days and an in-office content creator and social media assistant.
​
I was also an NHL Live Social Contributor for the 2023-2024 hockey season. In this role, I delivered photo and video content to the NHL and its teams to be used on social media during games.
​
In March 2023, I worked alongside the NCAA to provide
the organization with Instagram and Twitter content through the first and second rounds of the March Madness women's basketball tournament.
​
In Fall 2022, I worked as a Student Manager for Ohio State Men's Ice Hockey, where I launched and managed the team's TikTok account and assisted in the management and creation of content for other team social accounts.
​
My introduction to the sports industry was through working as a Student Manager for Women's Lacrosse. During the 2021-2022 season, I assisted this team in general administrative operations.
