Riley currently resides in Ames, but grew up in small town Iowa. She graduated from DMACC in 2022 with dual degrees in Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management. During the pandemic, Riley opened her own at-home bakery, Riley’s Sweets and Treats, but now does this as a fun hobby. Growing up softball was a huge part in her life, including playing in college. This has led to her coaching year-round. Riley has always loved kids – hearing their laughter and seeing them grow.
